Dark green strips in soybeans. They align with anhydrous ammonia from the previous year's corn. I've been told the strips have a lower pH which makes the Manganese more available. I've noticed in my areas where I have manganese deficiency, that the beans are darker green and shorter in my rows that are over the tractor tracks. I plant and spray in the same tracks and I know there is compaction. The beans that are not in the compacted area show a little Manganese deficiency. Those bean roots are undoubtedly growing deeper in the soil profile. Would the pH of the subsoil be high, causing a deficiency? Just wondering why the shorter beans in the tracks have a better color? Thanks in advance |
