Top Things for Farmers to Know About Checkoff Dollars Invested in Research
Illinois Soybean Checkoff Dollars are Driving On-Farm Research
Data-Driven Solutions
Illinois Soybean Association (ISA) is funding practical research that gives Illinois farmers useful information they can put to work on their own farms. ISA’s farmer board strategically invests checkoff dollars in practical, on-farm research that delivers data-driven solutions to Illinois soybean farmers. These research efforts address current and future production challenges. By supporting farmer-led trials and applied research, ISA is committed to providing information that helps improve productivity, profitability, and stewardship on the farm.

A Success Story as a Result of Research
Improving phosphorus recommendations helps sustainability outcomes and grower profitability
Dr. Andrew Margenot, Assistant Professor of Soil Science at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, recently concluded a checkoff funded project on the 4Rs of phosphorus for soybean systems. Margenot studied best practices around the timing, placement, source, and rate of phosphorus applications in the Central-North vs Southern Illinois, where soil and climate conditions vary significantly. While many growers utilize ammonium phosphates, such as MAP or DAP, as their P source, this study found that P sources that contain N are often not needed for soybean and could contribute to N nutrient loss issues. This study provided recommendations to growers that can help improve Illinois water quality, while also improving nutrient use efficiency.
