Inoculate Soybeans Conserve Nitrogen For Higher Yields
A. W. Klemme of the University of Missouri College of Agriculture urges inoculating soybean seed just before planting. The bacteria enable soybeans to tap atmospheric nitrogen, reducing soil nitrogen needs and boosting yields. Tests show a 25 bushel crop uses 159 pounds of nitrogen, while a 50 bushel crop needs about 72 pounds. Cultures for inoculation are available from seed stores or the Missouri College of Agriculture. Follow label instructions.
