Soybean research addresses some of the challenges of 2019
“Planting date is still the number one factor that influences soybean yield.” – Laura Lindsey, Ohio State University Extension soybean specialist
2019 Ohio Soybean Performance Trials
“The lowest yield was 25 bu/ac, and the highest was 76 bu/ac.” – Laura Lindsey, OSU Extension Soybean and Small Grains Specialist
Where’s the Bean? Missing Seed in Soybean Pods
