How to top off nitrogen tank is anybody's guess


Jun 15, 2021 to Jun 17, 2021
We applied 175 pounds of total nitrogen per acre. We can come back with more later if we think it will pay. How much should we apply? Should we apply it on whole fields or parts of fields? If just parts, where should we apply more nitrogen?
The Indiana Certified Crop Adviser panel includes Betsy Bower, Ceres Solutions, Lafayette; Jamie Bultemeier, agronomist, A&L Great Lakes Lab, Fort Wayne, and Andy Like, farmer and CCA, Vincennes
Bower: Who knows? Do some tissue and soil N testing to see if you actually need more nitrogen. If you do, compare two different field environments. Every year our growing environment is different. In 2019, it was very wet from planting through harvest. Tissue and soil N tests at V5, V10 and R1 revealed we had moved a lot of nitrogen from the upper foot of soil especially from fall and preplant applications. That was also true for sidedress applications in sandy soils without stabilizer. We recommended an additi ....

What you should know about fungicides and soybeans


Jun 15, 2021 to Jun 17, 2021
Our soybean yields are stuck in the 50s and low 60s. We haven’t tried fungicides. Could that be the answer? How do we know which one to try? When do we spray?
The Indiana Certified Crop Adviser panel includes Betsy Bower, Ceres Solutions, Lafayette; Jamie Bultemeier, agronomist, A&L Great Lakes Lab, Fort Wayne; and Andy Like, farmer and CCA, Vincennes.
Bower: Fungicide is not the only thing you may want to try. When is your typical planting date? What are your soil test phosphorus, potassium and soil pH levels? Are you controlling weeds timely? How do your soybeans mature, evenly or unevenly in patches? Have you tested for soybean cyst nematode? Are you using seed treatments? Are your soybeans lodging? Are you fitting the right soybean genetics to your fields? ....

Zero in on right time to apply corn fungicides


Jun 15, 2021 to Jun 17, 2021
There are mixed signals on when to apply fungicides. We normally target brown silk. Now some say spray earlier, especially for tar spot. We saw some tar spot late last year. We always sprayed later because we didn’t want to risk damaging kernel set. What do you recommend?
The Indiana Certified Crop Adviser panel includes Betsy Bower, Ceres Solutions, Lafayette; Jamie Bultemeier, agronomist, A&L Great Lakes Lab, Fort Wayne; and Andy Like, farmer and CCA, Vincennes
Bower: It depends on how the year develops. If we see good rainfall and an environment that supports disease infection and development, scout early and often. We certainly need to protect corn from gray leaf spot and northern corn leaf blight if we start to see them in the canopy. If it’s wet like 2019, strongly consider protecting corn from physoderma if a hybrid you’re growing is susceptible. In a wet year, you may need to apply a fungicide near R1 regarding grey leaf spo ....

Will foliar fertilizer help soybean yields?


Aug 31, 2021 to Sep 02, 2021
Our neighbor had several soybean fields over 70 bushels per acre. He applied foliar fertilizer. Should we consider foliar fertilizer? If so, which products? When should we apply?
The Indiana Certified Crop Adviser panel includes Betsy Bower, Ceres Solutions, Lafayette; Jamie Bultemeier, agronomist, A&L Great Lakes Lab, Fort Wayne; and Andy Like, farmer and CCA, Vincennes.
Bower: No matter what extra we applied in 2020, a foliar fertilizer, fungicide or both, soybeans rewarded us with more yield.
There are several foliar fertilizer products available. I would recommend a tissue test at early R3 to see what nutrients are low. Find a combination of a couple foliar fertilizers that will provide what you need.  ....

What you can learn from tissue testing in soybeans


Tom J Bechman
SEE WHAT’S IN PLANT: Betsy Bower demonstrates how to collect soybean leaves at the R2 stage to determine the level of nutrients in this early planted field.
Soybean Watch: Make an investment in tissue testing pay off.
Maybe you have never pulled a tissue sample in soybeans. If you’re ready to push toward higher yields, it might be worth considering.
“We can’t guarantee that it will allow you to make adjustments that will bump yields,” Betsy Bower says. “Sometimes it might even be difficult to explain what we learn. But there are times when you can pick up on trends that might not be obvious otherwise. It’s just another tool to add to your knowledge base for more-informed decisions.” ....
