The characteristics of many of Michigan's calcareous lake-bed and muck soils render soil applied MN fertilizer ineffective so foliar MN applications are necessary for optimal growth. Presently, Michigan soybean producers do not have adequate information on optimal rates, products or timings of MN applied to soybeans on chronically MN deficient soils. This project will research and develop recommendations specifically for soybeans grown on Michigan's calcareous lake-bed and muck soils while developing components of application and evaluating products. First year results in 2009 indicated significant effects for yield occurred: The lake bed soil sites had yields that did not respond to...
The United Soybean Research Retention policy will display final reports with the project once completed but working files will be purged after three years. And financial information after seven years. All pertinent information is in the final report or if you want more information, please contact the project lead at your state soybean organization or principal investigator listed on the project.
