We can easily see corn showing signs of drought or heat symptoms, but signs of soybeans under drought stress aren’t as obvious. When soybeans suffer from heat and water stress, their responses vary due to their cellular structures, metabolic processes and physiological development, which all can directly and indirectly cause soybeans to exhibit symptoms based on their response. Early season soybean stress may cause leaves to be smaller or...

July 26, 2019 A soybean doesn’t care about obtaining 100 bu per acre or if it gets 10-18 podding sites or if it is planted on April 15th or June 15th. A soybean plant is genetically programmed to develop a root system to bring in nutrients and water, and to produce nodules and nitrogen with rhizobia. Soybeans care about developing a canopy that captures sunlight to produce energy to produce a single offspring, and more would be great.

July 25, 2019 The ILSoyAdvisor received a question from central Pennsylvania last week: “My question is that my growers are seeing flowers on plants that are almost 1.5-foot-tall, which is much smaller compared to what we saw last year (or in normal years). I am wondering what happens to plant growth after the plants begin to flower. In other words, do plants keep growing and keep producing more nodes after they start flowering... |

July 24, 2019 A regenerative systems approach will utilize integrated, dynamic principles to synergize biologically-based practices to address fertility, pest and disease issues in corn and soybean production. The soil is the foundation in resilient systems that have the potential to leverage increasing soil organic matter to feed soil biology especially mycorrhizal fungi and associated organisms. In this webinar, presenter Kris Nichols, will discuss crop... |

July 22, 2019 Soybeans yield are increasing over half a bushel per year now. Some of that increase is from genetic gain and the rest is from better management. Soybeans have the uncanny ability to produce hundreds of pods per plant, but most never make it past flower or early pod stage. If you want to increase your soybean yields, track what is happening to pod counts during the season and see if you can do something about it. As soybean flowering... |
