A Program for Growing Corn and Soybean, Considering both Quality and Yield

Corn Growing Program

  1. Test soils for complete mineral balance.
  2. Check previous practices:
    1. Rotation
    2. Tillage
    3. Manure Use
    4. Stalk Removal
    5. Nitrogen use - source & amount
    6. Starter use - how much, which one
  3. If no manure and no rotation:
    1. It is hard to drop insecticides.
    2. Use more nitrogen and starter.
    3. If soil test is low, a corrective may be necessary
      (Bio-Cal™, potassium sulfate).
      In most cases fertilization is all that is necessary.

Soybean Growing Program

  1. Test soils for complete mineral balance.
  2. Check previous practices:
    1. Rotation
    2. Tillage
    3. Manure Use
    4. Stalk Removal
    5. Starter use - how much, which one

Soybeans need relatively high levels of phosphorus, calcium, and sulfur along with adequate levels of iron, zinc, copper, boron manganese and molybdenum. Soils can supply some of these needs, but a balanced crop fertilizer can help ensure that these nutrients are available when the plant needs them.
