Giovani Preza Fontes Provides ISA Funded Research Update from the Field
In this research update by Dr. Giovani Preza Fontes, he shares observations from the beginning of the growing season which included slower soybean growth in the cereal rye plot at both Urbana and Indiana sites. As of August 1st, the soybeans following cereal rye caught up to those without cereal rye in terms of growth stage and were all at R3. Future data analysis aims to unveil the reasons behind this growth delay and its potential yield impact, with further insights anticipated from tissue tests, soil sensors, and forthcoming harvest data.
Did You Feed Your Soybean?
