Foliar Fertilizer Applications

Author: Conner Raymond

Planning Unit: Plant and Soil Sciences

Major Program: Grains

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

One topic that normally comes up in a open discussion with producers is the use of foliar fertilizers. After multiple discussions about yield impacts and ROI of foliar fertilizer use on soybeans, one producer decide to spray 20 acres of "test strips" instead of a blanket application of 1000-1500 acres. This not only allowed this producer to make a more informed decision on inputs but also saved thousands of dollars and several hours of labor.
