During 2014, the soybean agronomy team evaluated sixteen soybean seed treatments at six locations in Ohio. Seed treatments included biologicals, fertilizers, inoculants, growth regulators, fungicides, and insecticides. Companies designated their product to be applied to treated or untreated seed. Treated seed was treated with Acceleron (metalaxyl + pyraclostrobin + fluxapyroxad + imidacloprid). There were two controls of treated seed (treated check) and untreated seed (untreated check). Results of the seed treatments applied to treated seed should be compared to the treated check while products applied to untreated seed should be compared to the untreated check.

Last year we also evaluated five foliar products at two locations in Ohio. Foliar products included fungicides, fertilizers, and growth regulators. Results of the 2014 Ohio Soybean Foliar Treatment Trial can be found here: http://stepupsoy.osu.edu/node/15/current-soybean-research-projects
