Product and Agronomy Research (PAR) Results: Second in a Series of Three

BY Dairyland Seed Agronomy Team
Soybeans 2021 Off Season

This week’s newsletter features Part 2 in our 3-Part series of reports from our 2021 Product and Agronomy Research (PAR) trials. This week we are sharing the details of the Soybean Seed Treatment Study in Wabash, IN.

WABASH SOYBEAN SEED TREATMENT Study
Description:

Early season seedling diseases and pests can wreak havoc on soybean stands. Soybean seed treatments can help preserve stand that would otherwise be lost to these early season pests. In this study we examined the efficacy of our seed treatment offerings as compared to an untreated check. The varieties used in the study are DSR-2999E™, planted April 4 and DSR-3058E™, planted on April 16, both varieties planted at 130,000 seeds per acre.

Treatments:
  • Untreated seed
  • LumiGEN® premium package
  • C1019FI premium external offer
  • LumiGEN® premium package + ILEVO®
Results:

CONCLUSION:

The premium treatment packages showed an increase of 1.5 bushels over the untreated check and the premium treatment + ILEVO showed a 3.4 bushel increase over the untreated check. There is no known SCN issues at this testing site. Seed treatments continue to show the ability to preserve yield potential of soybeans by protecting the plants from early season diseases and pests. Past soybean seed treatment trials at this site have shown an increase in yield of 1 to 2 bushels over untreated checks. As more additions are made to seed treatments we will continue to study these treatments at this location.

  • Deciding or Choosing a Nitrogen Rate
    As we are in or just getting done with many hunting seasons, asking an Agronomist to pick a Nitrogen (N) rate for your corn crop is akin to a asking a hunter what his or her favorite weapon to hunt with is. The answer in both instances is probably “well it depends.” As an Agronomist, before recommending a nitrogen rate, I typically ask several questions. It’s often said that the number of questions I might ask is comparable to the number of inquiries new parents make when consulting a physician about their child. Before suggesting an N rate, I have considered the following background information and questions:
