Last topic had tremendous amount of great information. You just didn't like it because it didn't fit into your box
It is very insulting for you to say there was nothing of value in the last topic.
This topic is coming across as I didn't get the results I wanted from the last one so I will try again.
Everyone in the last topic said a single test and application at R1 is for the most part none responsive outside of a deficiency. Your data in this topic lines up and confirms what they said
So why another R1 topic? It was already discussed that R1 you have missed 2 major points of influence and thousands of day to day points. You as an agronomist know that and should know better than to try to box stuff in.
Outside of deficiency and not talking probability answer these questions please
Show the data of soil test and plant test are directly correlated to yield
Show the data where an application is directly connected to yield.
If spoon feeding and tissue testing doesn't work, how come every top yield grower follow that system?
Show me the quote from the last thread where anyone said to rely on a single R1 test or push nutrients at R1. Nobody said that. You’re arguing with a position nobody held.
What levels do we need to obtian by vt/r1 with the thinking that applications after this stage becomes difficult and costly unless you are irrigating. It does not mean you are not testing and making applications along the way or adjusting your starter program or foliar program as so many seem to think he wants to skip. He is not skipping the previous. He wants to know by R1 what things should look like for "top end" yield. It is a valid question for most of the midwest that isn't irrigated.
