NE, KS | Stoller Soybean Research Trial Produces 214 Bushels Per Acre
PR Web -- HOUSTON, TX -- September 10, 2014 -- Soybean research trials conducted by members of the Stoller Enterprises research and product development team have produced a 214.7 bushel-per-acre yield in the Rio Grande Valley, near Weslaco, Texas. The two hundred plus bushel-per-acre yield may be highest yield achieved in replicated soybean plot trials.
The research focused on the yield response to application of supplemental nitrogen during the growing season and was conducted by Stoller Enterprises under contract with Plant Power Products, Inc., an entity with which Stoller Enterprises does research and product development. The research utilized replicated plots and was conducted in the same manner as research done by major agricultural universities and companies.
The 214.7 bushel-per-acre yield was achieved from soybean seed planted at a population of 105,000 plants per acre. An initial broadcast application of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium was applied prior to planting with additional fertilizer applications made throughout the growing season using a drip irrigation system. The cumulative amount of fertilizer applied during the growing season totaled 610 pounds of nitrogen, 40 pounds of phosphorus and 200 pounds of potassium.
