Soybean Webcast: Increase Nutrient Uptake & Yields.

Increase Nutrient Uptake and Yield with New 'Focus on Soybean' Webcast

From Plant Management Network.

Management practices and their interaction with the environment influence soybean growth and nutrient uptake, and can significantly impact grower's efforts to realize potential yield.

The Plant Management Network (PMN) has released a new presentation entitled

"Intensive Soybean Management: Closing Yield Gaps"

to help growers, crop consultants, and extension agents understand how crop density and intensive inputs can be used to create an efficient and high-yielding soybean production system.

The webcast, developed by Ignacio A. Ciampitti, Assistant Professor and Cropping Systems Specialist at Kansas State University, examines the results of two research trials conducted in dryland and irrigated soybean production systems that evaluated the contribution different practices and inputs can have on reaching potential yield.

The presentation discusses how to create a more efficient production system by:

  • Narrowing rows and increasing seeding rates
  • Balancing inputs to maintain growth and suppress disease
  • Increasing overall biomass and nutrient efficiency

The 33-minute presentation will remain open access through November 30 in the Focus on Soybean webcast resource.

The Plant Management Network is a nonprofit publisher of applied, science-based resources that help enhance the health, management, and production of agricultural and horticultural crops. Partnering with over 80 universities, nonprofits, and agribusinesses, PMN provides materials covering a wide range of crops and contemporary issues through the online PMN Education Center.
