Irrigation timing key to maximizing soybean yields in Louisiana
LSU agronomist Dr. Lowall L. McCormick notes that irrigation before the first bloom has limited effect, while water during the fruiting stage boosts yield. Dry spells hit Louisiana in spring and summer, with rainfall insufficient statewide. Irrigation before permanent wilting is advised, with 2–3 inches for sandy to mixed soils and about 3 inches for heavier soils, using border or furrow methods to ensure proper infiltration and avoid standing water.
