| Well after the all the cool weather we had at end of May and beginning of June my beans in the low wetter soils have turned yellow and are not looking good. Everyone around here calls it iron clorosis and it usually happens in the same areas of fields this year it has showed up worse than I can remember. I dry spread this field at an angle and as you can see by the second picture where the tractor tracks are the beans are green and look normal. This seems odd to me and I can't figure it out. The neighbor had his beans tissue sampled and the came up low on copper and just a little low on potassium, but not low on iron. We had this same thing happen 2 years ago but not as bad, I sprayed some foliar copper on them and it did seem to green them up and they turned out decent. I am going to cultivate them and spray some foliar copper and potassium, but I,m not sure any of that will bring them back. Any ideas on what you would do?
