Irrigation has not consistently increased soybean yields. In fact, dry land soybean yields have been equal to or exceeded irrigated yields in some cases. Because of this, soybean producers in Indiana and Michigan are looking for ways to increase their irrigated soybean yields. This is evidenced by the attendance at two educational programs focusing on increasing irrigated soybean yields. (180 participants in 2014 and 260 participants in 2015). Irrigated soybean producer groups have identified white mold and irrigation water management as the two most important factors limiting irrigated soybean yields.
