Fall Field Day outlines soybean progress and soil tests
About 75 area farmers attended the East Central Kansas Experiment Station event south of Ottawa to hear Kansas State University and Extension Service researchers on phosphorous placement, new soybean standards, and herbicide trials. Speakers described upcoming grade certificates prioritizing protein and oil, disease resistance, and the spread of soybean cyst nematodes along Missouri and Kansas Rivers. Field tests covered herbicide mixes for shattercane control, germination testing for saved seed, and phosphorous placement effects under no-till and chisel-disk tillage, with guidance on seed furrow placement and starter fertilization for yield gains.
