Brief Project Summary:

Soybean productivity and profitability are driven by a number of factors and tightly linked with the ability of the soil to meet crop nutrient demand. Fertilizer costs are rapidly increasing, impacting Ohio soybean producers ability to stay competitive. Therefore, soybean farmers in Ohio must manage fertilizer inputs as efficiently as possible, applying sufficient fertilizer to meet crop demand while avoiding major losses to the environment. A farmer's ability to find this optimal balance is highly reliant on the tools and information that are available to them.

This project proposes to re-evaluate the soil fertility recommendations for Ohio soybeans, focusing specifically on phosphorous...
