Brief Project Summary:

Nutrient applications are often overlooked in soybean production as many growers apply nutrients to corn and let soybean feed off the residual fertility. However, thoroughly understanding nutrient needs of modern soybean varieties is essential to producing high yielding soybeans. Having good diagnostic tools, such as soil and plant analysis, is essential for a good crop. The proposed study is designed to obtain more information on normal concentrations of nutrients in modern soybean varieties at R1 and R3 and the harvested seed. This information is the first step in determining if/how to plant analysis diagnostic criteria should be updated for phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) fertilizer...

Final Project Results

The United Soybean Research Retention policy will display final reports with the project once completed but working files will be purged after three years. And financial information after seven years. All pertinent information is in the final report or if you want more information, please contact the project lead at your state soybean organization or principal investigator listed on the project.
