An Illinois study uses 20+ years of data and high-resolution modeling to show how soybean-corn rotations outperform continuous corn in yield stability, nitrogen efficiency, and emissions reduction.

Dr. Fred Below and Dr. Connor Sible are evaluating the effects of sampling timing and leaf position in soybeans—research that could redefine tissue testing protocols for improved nutrient analysis accuracy.

Crop check from the field: IL Soy Envoys Seth Wiley & Mike Wilson, CCA, join the Field Advisor podcast to break down weather impacts, replanting, fungicide strategy and in-season insect and disease pressure.

Soybeans can perform well in conservation tillage systems with the right combination of fertility and row spacing—see what researchers found in the first year of this ISA checkoff-funded study.

Don’t let volunteer corn quietly steal your soybean yield—check out this blog featuring recommendations from IL Soy Envoy Byron Hendrix to help you scout effectively and fine-tune your post-emergence herbicide strategy.

Could certain cover crops serve as an effective management tool against soybean cyst nematode—or might some practices be contributing to higher SCN pressure? Ongoing Illinois research is shedding light on the complex relationship.
