NWMO | Soybeans hate, and I mean absolutely hate, wet feet. Saturated soil is detrimental to your mycorrhiza by reducing oxygen and often time reducing temperature, making life very difficult for the beneficial soil bacteria that soybeans live and die by.
Notice how your best soybeans are on your best ground? What makes that ground your best? Better soil type? Better drainage? More fertility? See where I’m going with this?
I’ve personally seen fields go from 50-60 bu yields to 80+ bu/ac fields within 3 years by simply adding good drainage and irrigation. That’s it, not fertility change, just drainage and irrigation, and I have the yield maps to prove it.
So in conclusion, drainage, drainage, drainage. I should’ve made that point in my previous post, but somehow slipped my mind | |
