This project will enhance soybean grower profitability by helping growers make informed decisions regarding the response of soybean canopy development, nodulation, grain quality, and yield to starter fertilizer based on planting date. Additionally, an economic analysis will be conducted to help enhance soybean grower profitability.
Nitrogen is an essential plant nutrient and is a main component of proteins and amino acids. Providing starter nitrogen to soybeans may increase canopy development of early planted soybean when the soil is cool and nitrogen mineralization is slow. Phosphorus is also an essential plant nutrient and enhances root growth. Enhanced root growth may result in more...
