Brief Project Summary:

The Six Secrets project explores important factors that relate to soybean productivity and where the right combined management tactics improve yield and generate enthusiasm for investing in soybean production. New in 2015 will be an evaluation of potassium fertilization; both independently, and in combination with phosphorus, sulfur and zinc which has been the most effective "Secret" in previous years. Additionally, the project will assess soil health using the Solvita and Haney test to soil carbon and nutrient availability.
