With the construction of a malting facility, double crop soybean acres are expected to increase. Winter malting barley is harvested about two weeks earlier than winter wheat. The premiums offered for high-quality malting barley grain coupled with double crop soybeans will be a profitable system. However, soybeans planted later require different management. This research provides recommendations for soybeans in this system. Objectives aim to develop double crop soybean recommendations following winter malting barley including fungicide seed treatment, insecticide seed treatment, foliar fungicide at R3, foliar insecticide at R3, and foliar insecticide at R5 and evaluate the effect of winter malting barley biomass and residual nitrogen on double crop soybean stand and yield.
