Soybean yield results from 30
field trials across the U.S.
Becker Underwood
announces a new web site, www.WeProveIt.com,
where soybean growers can view independent field trial data from
throughout the United States on soybeans treated with
inoculants.
"All the results published on
WeProveIt.com are from
university and other independent researchers," says Bill Romp,
Becker Underwood business unit manager. "Growers can see for
themselves what works best in their area on their crops."
The web site includes a summary of
30 soybean inoculant field trials, including 21 university
trials and nine contract research plots in nine states,
including Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, North
Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio and Wisconsin.
The web site allows growers to search for soybean inoculant
yield results by state. The data can be downloaded into
Microsoft Excel worksheets. Additional yield results will be
posted to the web site as they become available.
"The results on WeProveIt.com
add to the extensive research data we have collected on VAULT®
BioStacked® inoculant. Since its introduction two years ago,
soybeans treated with VAULT gained 2 to 10 more bushels per
acre," Romp says.
