Although soybeans appear to be improving, there are still some areas where soybeans are staying yellow. Most of this yellowing has to do with water tolerance. In the image above the soybeans in the forefront are yellow (the wettest area) and as the field slopes up the soybeans turn green. As a reminder, soybean nodules need oxygen to breathe and as long as soils stay saturated it is difficult for nodules to produce nitrogen.

July 28, 2014 Now more than ever, growers are experiencing yield loss and crop quality due to fungicide resistance, forcing them to either use more fungicides or select disease-resistant varieties that aren’t necessarily the highest yielding for their growing conditions. Fungicides are an important weapon against plant disease and, now more than ever, it’s important for agricultural practitioners to manage this resistance. ... |

July 24, 2014 This year, there is a very high degree of variability across the state with regards to soybean height, canopy coverage, and overall crop condition. Accordingly, the USDA planting estimates reached 85 million acres of soybean and the prices of soybean, corn, and wheat were highlighted in the Wall Street Journal last week. What to watch for now…

July 24, 2014 Many producers in southern Illinois double crop soybeans after wheat, creating an additional opportunity for revenue for the farm. In addition, planting soybeans adds living roots, supporting biological activity in the soil when growers would otherwise let the field lie fallow. Producing double-crop soybeans is a challenge because you’re planting a crop outside its prime window, when weather is drier and... |

July 24, 2014 There is a lot of interest in applying nitrogen on soybeans as more growers are willing to go to greater lengths to improve soybean yields on their farm. There are many opinions on whether it works or not—some data show a positive response, but other data suggest no response. And every agronomist and expert seems to have their own opinion. The fact that nitrogen responses are inconsistent and unpredictable makes... |

July 22, 2014 Strive to understand how soybeans produce pods and track pod count per plant as a tool to build more yield. We are into July, and soybeans are producing and filling pods. If you want to increase soybean yields on your farm, track what is happening to pod counts, and see if you can do something about increasing it. So how many pods does a soybean plant produce? If every node on the main stem and on each branch... |
