Unlocking the Linkage Between N Fixation, Protein, and Yields for Soybean Crop
The presentation will focus on discussing the association of yield in connection with the processes of nitrogen fixation and seed protein formation. In addition, the relationship between yield and seed quality (protein and oil) is explored using a large on-farm dataset to better understand the variation of these components with implications on quality segregation at harvest.
