MSU-ES Variety Short List--All Years
Mississippi State University Extension Service created this suggested variety list for individual years to serve as an additional resource for variety selection. Suggestions are based upon overall consistency and performance in Mississippi Soybean Official Variety Trials. Farmers should consult other sources, such as results from Official Variety Trials and Demonstration Programs, for detailed information regarding variety performance.
Nitrogen Fertilizer for Soybeans--MSSOY White Paper
This white paper discusses whether applied nitrogen to soybeans is worth the extra cost through analysis of several studies in a wide range of locations.
Nitrogen in Mississippi Soils--MSUcares
Field crops typically require more nitrogen than Mississippi soils provide in a growing season, but too much available N might lower yields and lessen crop quality. This Mississippi State Extension publication helps farmers understand nitrogen so the...
Nutrient Management Guidelines for Agronomic Crops--MSUcares
The goal of nutrient management is to maximize plant productivity while minimizing environmental consequences. This guide is a brief introduction to nutrient management in Mississippi.
On-Farm Storing and Drying of Soybeans--White Paper
Soybean producers are increasingly interested in on-farm drying and storage because of its potential advantages such as 1) harvesting soybeans early at higher moisture contents than normal to reduce the possibility of harvest losses, and 2) providing marketing flexibility and advantage during the soybean selling process. This document explores the issues to be considered for on-farm soybean drying and storage. Linked publications provide information that will result in the best use of on-farm drying and storage facilities.
Phosphorus in Mississippi Soils--MSUcares
Phosphorus management and nutrition have both economic and environmental implications. This publication examines P in soils, plant uptake, soil fertility and testing, and management of P fertilizers.
Management Decisions Based on Planting Date--White Paper
Early planting (late March through mid-April) of soybeans in Mississippi is now commonplace and should be considered the norm for achieving high yield. It is likely a significant contributing factor to the Mid-South states’ high yields in recent years. It is used as a mechanism to avoid drought and late-season pest problems, plus ensure early harvest. This document walks farmers through the management decisions to consider for both early and late plantings.
Potassium Fertility for Mississippi soybeans
Adequate potassium plant nutrition influences disease resistance, drought stress tolerance, winter hardiness, tolerance to plant pests, and uptake efficiency of other nutrients. Information provided by Mississippi State University discusses this nutrient's importance for soybean production and how to test for it, how to deal with deficiencies, and rates of potassium fertilizer needed to adequately supply soybean potassium requirements. Updated potassium fertilizer rates (for 2020 forward) based on soil fertility tests and cation exchange capacity of the soil at a production site are presented.
Poultry Litter as Fertilizer for Soybeans--MSSOY White Paper
According to several studies summarized in this white paper, using poultry litter as a fertilizer for soybeans is an effective and beneficial practice. In addition, this resource provides costs and nutrient content of poultry litter.
