Use of Precision Ag in US Farming Systems--MSSOY White Paper
Precision agriculture [PA] is a farming management concept based on measuring and responding to both within- and among-field variability in site properties and crop production potential. It involves using a suite of information technologies to decrease input costs and labor requirements, support a more efficient use of production inputs, and potentially increase yields.
Soybean Development and Growth Stages--MSSOY White Paper
Understanding how soybean plants develop from planting to maturity is important to ensure that management inputs are applied according to the stage of development of the plant. This has been summarized in linked documents contained in this article.
Using Herbicide MOA to Select Herbicides--MSSOY White Paper
Information is presented that can be used to select herbicides based on their mode of action as part of a resistance management weed control program.
Pesticide Spray Adjuvants--MSSOY White Paper
A summary of information about pesticide spray adjuvants used in agriculture is presented.
MSU-ES On-Farm Variety Demonstrations
As part of MSPB-supported research, on-farm soybean variety demonstrations are conducted throughout the state's soybean producing regions. The reports from those projects are attached.
Using Big Data in US Agriculture--MSSOY White Paper
New data technology is rapidly changing the agriculture sector in the US. Investments in "Big Data" and big data analytics have the potential to push American agricultural productivity into the future. The challenges and opportunities provided by this new technology are outlined in this article.
Harvest Weed Seed Control--MSSOY White Paper
Harvest Weed Seed Control (HWSC) measures have been developed that target destruction of seeds of escaped weed plants at harvest in order to minimize new inputs into the soil weed seedbank.
Nutrient Management for Soybean Production--MSSOY White Paper
A summary of and links to resources that can be used to develop a sound soil fertility/nutrient management program for soybeans is provided.
Soybean Tissue Analysis to Determine Plant Nutrient Status--MSSOY White paper
The goal of a soil fertility program is to match the application of nutrients to soil with the crop's nutrient requirements for an intended or target yield. Tissue testing is a tool that can be used to assist in identifying nutrient deficiencies in the plant that may be limiting crop growth and yield. Tissue testing is not a replacement for a sound program of soil sampling and testing, but rather is a diagnostic tool that can be used to determine if a designed nutrient management plan based on soil sample results and the application of those results is working.
