The overall objective of this project is to determine if sulfur applications should be part of the fertility management recommendation for Michigan growers. Project components include: determining if sulfur should be applied to soybeans to increase yields and profitability; determining whether the type or timing of sulfur changes the yield or economic response; studying whether sulfur tissue levels in the plant can be improved with sulfur applications. Researchers will compare responses by management zones to find if sulfur variable rate application improves economics and to see if certain soil types are more responsive to the sulfur applications.
