Where soybean planting has been delayed (or in double-crop soybean systems), producers should consider a few key management practices. Planting soybeans in the right soil conditions is essential for establishing an adequate soybean canopy and improving the chances of increasing the yield potential.
Knowing what weeds are causing problems and understanding that in some cases multiple trips across the field for better weed control during the growing season might be more economical in the long run, in order to ultimately protect and improve crop yields.
A few frequent questions about phosphorus (P) fertilizer use are: Does P fertilizer always result in a positive yield response? How much yield increase is expected with applied P? What is the likelihood of yield penalty if P fertilizer is not applied?
