Results of Soybean Management On-Farm Research soybean research

On-farm replicated research on soybean management practices was conducted as part of the 2011 Soybean Management Field Days near Bancroft (northeast), Clay Center (south central), Cortland (southeast), and Elba (central). Soybean yield can be increased by integrating the genetic potential of soybean with sustainable agronomic practices and yield-increasing practices appropriate for current field and seasonal weather conditions. The 2011 Soybean Management Field Days included trials to test various practices for:
· Effect of Foliar Fungicides and Insecticides
· Nutrient management involving starter N, foliar nutrient management, growth promoters, and related high yield practices.
