Response Of Soybean Yield And Yield Components To Phosphorus Fertilization In South Dakota, Adams Kusi Appiah, Rebecca Helget, Yi Xu, Jixiang Wu

Conference on Applied Statistics in Agriculture

Increased demand for soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] production for industrial, human, and animal consumption has provided many incentives for farmers and producers to increase their production. In many soils used for soybean production, phosphorus (P) becomes a major limiting factor to soybean growth and grain production. A field experiment was conducted in five locations across Eastern South Dakota in 2013 to study the response of soybean yield and yield components to phosphorus fertilizer applications. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block (RCB) design with four replications. The treatments consisted of five P levels 0, 20, 40, …
