Research InformationWant to harness the power of microbial products to improve soybean health, resist stress and increase yield? Enroll in the 2017 Yield Challenge Side-by-Side Comparison to test out B Sure® on soybeans.
Combating SCN: Weakening of PI 88788 Resistance
June 01, 2017
Insect ManagementOverreliance on PI 88788 as the major source of genetic resistance has weakened its effectiveness as soybean cyst nematode (SCN) populations continue to evolve.
Checking the Pulse of Nitrogen Fixation
May 10, 2017
Nutrient ManagementSoybeans fix nitrogen. With soybean yields of 40, 50 or even 60 bushels per acre, fixation, residual nitrogen and nitrogen mineralization provide more than enough nitrogen to produce bushels and pounds of protein per acre. But today many scientists and agronomists are beginning to question whether nitrogen is becoming a limiting factor in soybeans as we move into the 70-, 80- and 90-plus bushel range.
Checking the Pulse of your Soil
May 05, 2017
Sustainability PracticesHave you checked the health of your soil lately? Checking respiration of your soil is like checking your pulse—indicating your health level, but not what may be impeding or stimulating it.
