How crop nutrition affects soybeans

The maintenance of an adequate soil pH level ensures nutrients availability and maximizes yield.

The maintenance of an adequate soil pH level ensures nutrients availability and maximizes yield.

Soybean is able to get air N2 through the symbiotic relationship with the bacteria of the genus Rizhobium.

The seed production per plant is determined by the amount of nodes as the amount of flowers per node is genetically determined and does not alter much.

Balanced crop nutrition is important for to help increase protein content. Deficiency of any nutrient will limit crop performance but in the case of soybeans potassium and phosphate are particularly important.

Boron is important for pollen tube growth and pollen grain germination.

The yellowing observed in RR (Roundup Ready) soybean after glyphosate application may be associated with momentary manganese (Mn) deficiency.

The maximum potential in soybean is genetically determined.

Balanced crop nutrition is needed to achieve high quality in soybean. The most important quality criteria for soybean are protein and fat contents.

The goal is to have a healthy crop in quick growth and development in order to maximize yield.

The aim of the grower is to produce a high-yielding, quality crop that matches the needs of the intended market.

Soybean contains approximately 40% protein in the grain, which is rich in nitrogen (N) and therefore, soybean needs for N are high.

Yara's fertiliser recommendations and crop nutrition programmes for soybean can help you to achieve excellent crop performance and maximise the yield and quality of all soybean crops.
