    2015 Ohio Soybean Performance Trials: Sortable Tables Available Online

    Author(s): Laura Lindsey

    The purpose of the Ohio Soybean Performance Trials is to evaluate soybean varieties for yield and other agronomic characteristics. This evaluation gives soybean producers comparative information for selecting the best varieties for their unique production systems. Varieties were grouped, tested, and analyzed by maturity (early and late). Conventional, Liberty Link, and Roundup Ready varieties were tested together and sprayed with conventional herbicides to allow for head-to-head comparisons.

  7. How reliable will this year's test plot data be?

    Author(s): Peter Thomison , Author(s): Laura Lindsey

    Ohio's corn and soybean crops experienced exceptional growing conditions in 2015, including record rainfall in June and July followed by a drier than normal August conditions in many areas. The persistent rains saturated soils and caused localized ponding and flooding. These conditions resulted in root damage and N loss that led to uneven crop growth and development between and within fields. Agronomists often question the value of test plot data when adverse growing conditions severely limit yield potential.

  8. Liming Considerations

    Author(s): Ed Lentz, CCA , Author(s): Steve Culman

    Fall is an excellent time to test soil pH and determine whether any lime needs to be applied for future crops. Proper soil pH is important for nutrient availability, herbicide activity, and crop development. For most soils, additional lime is not needed every year. Consider these points before liming your fields:

  10. Decisions, Decisions, Decisions— Focus on Variety Selection

    Author(s): Anne Dorrance

    Each year things seem to be coming earlier, choices need to be made even before we have this current crop in the grain bin, much less have it sold.  Here are a couple of suggestions as you prepare for the 2016 crop.

    1.       Focus variety selection on the HISTORIC problems for any given field.
