January 23, 2015 A 2014 on-farm research trial in Perry, Michigan, showed that foliar-applied manganese and sulfur were not effective in increasing nutrient uptake and soybean yield. There is concern among soybean producers that manganese (Mn) and sulfur (S) deficiencies are causing yield reductions in Michigan. As such, there is a tendency among soybean producers to apply supplemental nutrient sources on most fields even without experimental evidence... |

January 22, 2015 Was it the weather? SDS? Or a late flush of herbicide-resistant weeds? While 2014 turned out to be a favorable year for soybean production in Illinois, many growers felt that their yields could have been better if only one or two things had been different. ISA is interested in learning more about what you think limited yields on your farm. |

January 19, 2015 What are your top five factors at planting that can impact your 2015 soybean yields? Everyone can come up with their own list, but I will offer mine. The top five decisions include variety selection, crop rotation, planting date, row spacing and plant population, and seed treatments. Others might add fertility, soil health or tillage to the list or even other items. Variety: Variety selection is the number one... |

January 15, 2015 It is easy to see when weeds or insects develop resistance to a herbicide or insecticide. The weeds or insects are easy to spot in the field. Even some plant diseases are becoming resistant to some fungicides, as evidenced by the infected plants in the field. A harder place to detect resistance may be when soybean cyst nematodes, SCN, start to overcome the benefits of using a soybean variety with a particular source of resistance to... |
