Brief Project Summary:

Farmers want to apply nitrogen on soybeans to increase productivity but yield response is inconsistent and unpredictable. The objective is to develop a better understanding on nitrogen use and demand in soybeans while factoring in nitrogen fixation capability, soil supply, yield and weather as a basis for developing nitrogen recommendations for high yield soybeans in the future.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, ag retailers, extension specialists
