Tillage Study For Corn And Soybeans: Comparing Vertical, Deep, And No-Tillage / Year 10, E. Adee
Tillage Study For Corn And Soybeans: Comparing Vertical, Deep, And No-Tillage / Year 10, E. Adee
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Trends from a tillage study conducted since 2011 have shown no clear differences between tillage systems for either corn or soybeans in lighter soils under irrigation. One year out of eight years has shown a yield advantage for either corn or soybeans for any tillage system, which appears to be related to environmental conditions experienced during the season. Averaged across all years of the study, the treatments with deep tillage either every or every-other year had about 4.5% higher corn yields, and soybeans had up to a 3.2% yield increase with some form of tillage.

Effect Of Saltro Soybean Seed Treatment On Sudden Death Syndrome In Kansas In 2019, E. A. Adee
Effect Of Saltro Soybean Seed Treatment On Sudden Death Syndrome In Kansas In 2019, E. A. Adee
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Sudden death syndrome (SDS) is a disease caused by the soilborne fungusFusarium virguliforme. This fungus prefers wet conditions and thus is usually most severe in irrigated fields. SDS tends to be most severe on well-managed soybeans with a high yield potential. It also tends to be more prevalent on fields that are infested with soybean cyst nematode (SCN) or planted early when soils are wet and cool. Historical yield losses from this disease are generally in the range of 1–25%. While there are differences in susceptibility between varieties, there are no varieties that are resistant to SDS. Fortunately, …
Effect Of Late Season Management Practices On Soybean Seed Filling And Yield, F. E. Baronio, I. A. Ciampitti
Effect Of Late Season Management Practices On Soybean Seed Filling And Yield, F. E. Baronio, I. A. Ciampitti
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
For soybean (Glycine max[L.] Merr.), final seed yield is primarily explained by modifications in the seed number per unit area. However, changes in individual seed weight can contribute to variations in seed yield. Final seed weight is defined by the amount of biomass accumulated in seeds per day (i.e., rate of seed growth) and the duration of this phase (i.e., number of days for seed filling). During the seed filling period, the seed growth rate and the duration are sensitive to growing conditions. Thus, any limitation on resources availability (e.g., water, radiation, and nutrients) during this period can …

Best Management Systems To Intensify Soybean Production, G. R. Balboa, I. A. Ciampitti
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
The aim of this study was to evaluate different management systems to close the yield gap in soybean production. A soybean experiment was established in Scandia, KS, evaluating five management systems under both rainfed and irrigated conditions. For the 2017 season, dryland and irrigated average yields were similar (63–65 bu/a) due to herbicide injury on the irrigated phase. In both water scenarios, intensification (high input) increased yields compared with common practice (low input) systems. Under irrigation, a consistent response to a balanced nutrition program was documented.

Comparison Of Different Weed Control Technology Programs, D. E. Peterson, C. Thompson, C. L. Minihan
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
The development of glyphosate-resistant weeds has greatly complicated weed control in soybeans. Roundup Ready 2 Xtend and Liberty Link soybeans provide an alternative postemergence herbicide options for weed control in soybeans. Liberty Link and Roundup Ready 2 Xtend programs provided better overall weed control and slightly higher yields than Roundup Ready 2 Yield programs in this experiment. Yields of Roundup Ready 2 Yield soybeans were likely influenced by more weed competition and possibly crop injury from spray tank contamination by dicamba. Dicamba injury from tank contamination to Roundup Ready 2 Yield soybeans decreased with each subsequent treatment and also with …

Tillage Study For Corn And Soybeans: Comparing Vertical, Deep, And No-Till, Eric Adee
Tillage Study For Corn And Soybeans: Comparing Vertical, Deep, And No-Till, Eric Adee
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
The need for tillage in corn and soybean production in the Kansas River Valley continues to be debated. The soils of the Kansas River Valley are highly variable, with much of the soil sandy to silty loam in texture. These soils tend to be relatively low in organic matter (<2%) and susceptible to wind erosion. Although typically well drained, these soils can develop compaction layers under certain conditions. A tillage study was initiated in the fall of 2011 at the Kansas River Valley Experiment Field near Topeka to compare deep vs. shallow vs. no-till vs. deep tillage in alternate years. Corn and soybean crops will be rotated annually. This is intended to be a long-term study to determine if soil characteristics and yields change in response to a history of each tillage system.
