Soybeans in Indiana often show potassium (K) deficiency symptoms during seed fill – leaf margin chlorosis to necrosis.

Highlighter green soybeans (N-deficient) are related to the root system, number of nodules, and nodule activity (i.e., evidence of N fixation).
Understand this one simple fact about grain yield monitors: They do not measure grain yield.
