Evaluate The Effect Of Common Inputs On Soybean Grain Yield In Enhanced (High-Input) And Traditional (Low-Input) Production Systems

Abstract

The commodity price of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr] grain has grown by over 300% during the year 2000, piqueing farmers' interest in investing in agricultural inputs to boost soybean output. The purpose of this research was to compare enhanced (high-input) and conventional (low-input) production methods for soybeans with regard to the impact of common inputs on grain yield. The ability to select inputs that can boost soybean output on a field-by-field basis relies on an understanding of the elements that may restrict yield.
