• Growth development and growth enhancement products (soybean growth and development, how yield is made and soybean responses to plant density and planting date)
• Multiple soybean input study that includes row spacing, fungicides, insecticides and nutrient management (soil fertility management for soybeans, seed treatment products, risks associated…
