Maximizing Soybean Yields by Improving Agronomic Practices

Growing soybeans requires more management today than 20 years ago due to earlier planting and increased disease and insect pressure. Growers still taking a “minimal management” approach to soybean production are likely missing a significant opportunity to increase their bottom line. This Crop Insights examines agronomic practices that may help increase soybean yields and profits. These include variety selection, planting practices (row width, planting date and seeding rate), soil fertility, crop rotation, weed control, use of inoculants and other practices. A second article in this series will address overcoming disease and insect obstacles to maximizing soybean yields.
