Coordination of Management Practices Enhancing Total Efficiency (COMPETE): Wisconsin Project on Improving Assessments of Soybean Nutrient Needs, 2004
Soybean producers have a wide range of tillage systems available to them. Choice of tillage system affects several soil properties and may influence how fertilizer needs to be managed for maximum effectiveness. Results from this project are showing that the best fertilizer management strategies are not the same for all tillage systems. There seems to be an advantage to fertilizer placed near soybean rows during planting in no-till systems. However, this same placement method reduced yields in strip-till systems. Much more needs to be investigated about the causes of these differences. WI-24F
