| Maddog, if feel your pain. Many here also ready to give up on soys. Nh 8970 I did a tissue test and a soil sample from an extremely chlorotic spot in my soys this summer and it had a O.M. of 7.7 which is unheard of for me at that spot and the tissue test came back with excess iron BUT what I have found on page 311 of Neal Kinseys book Hands On Agronomy is what I find very interesting. He says that "when the manganese level exceeds the iron level on a specific test we use, it oxidizes iron in the leaf making it making it unavailable to the plant. But when the leaf is analyzed, the oxidized iron is released and shows as if it had been available to the plant all along." Exactly what my test showed and also a friend had the same thing happen. I tried Soygreen this year and was very pleased with how the beens looked compared to others in my area but I'm waiting for the yield check. | |
