1. Soybean Response to Sulfur Placement and Starter Fertilizer Application

Reduced rates of early season nutrient mineralization from earlier planting dates, increased nutrient removal from greater yields, and reductions in atmospheric sulfur (S) deposition have increased concern regarding S availability for optimal soybean (Glycine max L.) growth. A field study was established to determine the effects of 25 lbs. S per acre with or without starter fertilizer consisting of 20 lbs. nitrogen (N) per acre and 50 lbs. P2O5 per acre on soybean grain yield and quality. Main plots...
