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.
Seeps most often occur where a permeable soil layer is found above a restrictive or less permeable layer.
Unfortunately, many soybeans across the state have been coming up short on N over the past several weeks.
Periods of severe stress can do all sorts of strange things to crops. One oddity that has been reported by a number of folks this year is often described as “ears outgrowing their husks.”
Fancy colored yield maps are fine for verifying grain yields at the end of the harvest season, but bragging rights for the highest corn yields are established earlier than that down at the Main Street Cafe, on the corner of 5th and Earl.
Yield potential in corn is influenced at several stages of growth and development
The post-pollination scuttlebutt overheard in coffee shops throughout Indiana during late summer often revolves around the potential for severe stress that might reduce kernel set or kernel size in neighborhood cornfields.
The grain fill period begins with successful pollination and initiation of kernel development, and ends approximately 60 days later when the kernels are physiologically mature. During grain fill, the developing kernels are the primary sink for concurrent photosynthate produced by the corn plant.
