7 Key Parameters Influencing Soybean Yield at the Landscape Scale Ethan R. Smidt and Shawn P. Conley

8 Introduction Growers are collecting multiple layers of data each year GPS and equipment advances have allowed for variable rate technology (VRT) Many growers are unsure which data layer(s) to use when creating these prescriptions

Varieties with the Glyphosate Tolerant trait (including those designated by the letter R in the product number) contain genes that confer tolerance to glyphosate herbicides. Glyphosate herbicides will kill crops that are not tolerant to glyphosate. Always follow grain marketing, stewardship practices and pesticide label directions. Varieties with the Glyphosate Tolerant trait (including those designated by the letter R in the product number) contain genes that confer tolerance to glyphosate herbicides. Glyphosate herbicides will kill crops that are not tolerant to glyphosate.

53 High Yield Soybean Demo Goals Track nutrients to determine limiting nutrients during specific growth periods Assess agronomic fit of Pioneer brand variety P46T59R for deep south environments Evaluate Telone for nematode control and soybean yield response Determine utility of indeterminate varieties Develop agronomy data for Pioneer Brand varieties Always follow grain marketing, stewardship practices and pesticide label directions. Varieties with the Glyphosate Tolerant trait (including those designated by the letter R in the product number) contain genes that confer tolerance to glyphosate herbicides. Glyphosate herbicides will kill crops that are not tolerant to glyphosate.
