In the latest Purdue Crop Chat Podcast, Extension Corn Specialist Bob Nielsen and Extension Soybean Specialist Shaun Casteel review the September USDA Crop Production Report and discuss if Indiana has the potential to reach USDA’s projections based on a very dry August and September.
When a freeze occurs early in the spring after soybean fields have been planted, damage is dependent on many variables, especially the growth stage.
On the latest Purdue Crop Chat podcast found here and on iTunes, Purdue Extension Corn Specialist Dr. Bob Nielsen and Soybean Specialist Dr. Shaun Casteel talk about the impact of the frost event over the weekend and if replanting will be necessary.
There is now a new Purdue Crop Chat episode available, and this week #4 talks about the ramp up of planting across Indiana and considerations for seeds going into soil that isn’t quite warm enough for establishing the best stands.
Purdue Extension and Hoosier Ag Today have teamed up for a new podcast to provide timely, relevant and credible agronomic insights to listeners. Purdue Crop Chat features extension corn and soybean specialists Dr. Bob Nielsen and Dr. Shaun Casteel from Purdue.
Soybean planting progress (or the lack there of) for Indiana and much of the Midwest is one of the slowest on record. Indiana soybeans normally reach 50% planted by May 20th, but we are only at 6% by the same period.
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).
Seeps most often occur where a permeable soil layer is found above a restrictive or less permeable layer.
