The purpose of this study is to evaluate various residue management products applied in the spring and their effect on residue breakdown, yield, and return on investment.

Given the early planting date, it may have been challenging for the spring-applied residue management products to make a significant impact at planting. However, they may have helped break down residue earlier in the growing season.
