Brief Project Summary:

Using best management practices and technology might allow some North Carolina fields to yield more than 70 bu/A. Due to intensive management, usually these fields present adequate levels of soil nutrients and the official recommendations of fertilizers for NC soils point to small or null rates of fertilizers, regardless of yield expectations. This ongoing project refines the recommendations of P and K for high-yielding soybeans. This research aims to field test supplemental fertilization strategies, at planting for starter N, S, and P, and during reproductive stages with N and micronutrients. The supplemental fertilization strategies will be compared with the standard fertilization program recommended by NCDA&CS using an economic analysis.

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.
