Evaluation of Commercially Available Biological and Biostimulant Products for Mississippi Soybean Production
Investigators
Objectives
- Field evaluation of commercially available biological products for agronomic and economic benefits
- Field evaluation of commercially available biological and biostimulant products for disease prevention benefits.
Expected End Results
Results from these objectives have the potential to impact all 2,200,000 acres of soybean planted in Mississippi. At an average cost of $8/acre identification of products not suitable for application would save Mississippi soybean producers approximately $17.6 million dollars. Conversely, identification of products that do provide a 5-10 bushel yield increase would increase net returns $42 to $93 per acre, using the five year average price of $10.10/bushel.
