Optimizing Soybean Production with Sulfur
Crop production is the process of managing plants to maximize sunlight interception, carbon assimilation (photosynthesis) and storage of carbohydrates that [...]
Sulfur and Boron Testing in Soybeans
Sulfur and boron are increasingly important nutrients for soybeans. So, are soil and tissue tests reliable measures? Soil testing is a proven tool for [...]
Nitrogen on the Soybeans Yield Gap
Is some of the yield gap we see in soybeans today due to a lack of nitrogen? For the past 4 or 5 years [...]
WEBINAR: What We’ve Learned from Nitrogen-On-Beans Research
Tim Smith from Cropsmith and Fred Below, Ph.D., from the University of Illinois, discuss their research on applying nitrogen on soybeans, when it makes [...]
Sulfur Availability
Sulfur (S) deficiencies are more common due to less atmospheric deposits, declining organic matter levels and bigger crop yields. It’s time to add sulfur [...]
Try One Thing
The Illinois Statewide Nutrient Loss Reduction Strategy (NLRS) is designed to improve Illinois water quality and the quality of water leaving the state. We [...]
WEBINAR: Managing P and K on Soybeans by Soil Test Level, Yield Expectation and Water Quality
Potash Corp. Director of Agronomy Robert Mullen discusses management techniques for phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) in soybean production. Mullen says it’s important to [...]
Nitrogen on Soybeans: Here is What We Know
Soybeans require nitrogen and lots of it because it’s a protein crop, and proteins contain 16% nitrogen. For decades we have relied on the [...]
Thinking About Adding Nitrogen
African soybean producer wants to know if he should be applying nitrogen to his soybeans. ILSoyAdvisor, ISA’s soybean management website, has global reach. We [...]
Soybeans and Nitrogen Management
Soybeans require a lot of nitrogen, but before applying supplement, recognize yield potential and available soil resources. We are getting to the point in [...]
