  1. Planting Soybean in June: What Agronomic Practices Should I Adopt?

    Author(s): Fabiano Colet , Author(s): Laura Lindsey

    According to USDA-NASS, 66% of soybean acreage was planted in the USA by May 21, 2023. In Ohio, that number is similar, with 63% planted, and it is expected that the acreage planted will increase by the end of May due to dry planting conditions. However, planting will continue into June, and farmers may want to adjust their management practices to maximize soybean yield.

  3. Recommendations for Late Planted Soybeans

    Author(s): Laura Lindsey

    Persistent wet weather is likely to push soybean planting into late May-early June in many areas of the state. Late planting reduces the cultural practice options for row spacing, seeding rate, and relative maturity.

    Row spacing. The row spacing for June planting should be 7.5 to 15-inches, if possible. Row width should be narrow enough for the soybean canopy to completely cover the interrow space by the time the soybeans begin to flower. The later in the growing season soybeans are planted, the greater the yield increase due to narrow rows.

  4. Switching from Alfalfa to Soybean…Should I Inoculate?

    Author(s): Laura Lindsey , Author(s): Mark Sulc

    Alfalfa stands were negatively affected by this winter’s weather. Some farmers may be converting their alfalfa fields to soybean. Does the soybean seed need to be inoculated?

    While there is very little information on this topic, we believe yes. You should inoculate soybean with Rhizobia when converting an alfalfa field to soybean. Here’s why:
