Managing Nutrients for Maximum Soybean Yields
“Soybeans will respond to fertilizer application of P and K if the soil test is on the lower side, but not yield as high as soybeans in fields with good soil test levels of P and K and not additional fertilizer application.” – Horst Bohner, Soybean Specialist with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture Food and Ministry of Rural Affairs
Meeting Soybean Fertility Needs
“In our study we are not seeing a benefit to prophylactic nutrient application.” – Emma Matcham
Building Soil Carbon
Building soil carbon is dependent upon temperature, moisture, vegetation, tillage, soil texture, crop rotation, and microbial activity.
