In-Season Agronomy
Evaluating Leaf Nutrient Tissue Testing and Relation to Soybean Grain Yield
Because soybeans are able to remobilize, or redistribute, nutrients from lower to newly developing nodes, more information is needed to understand which nutrients and in what quantities are made available to new nodes. This project will use tissue testing to gain these insights and help establish more accurate and timely in-season nutrient recommendations to maximize soybean yield.
