Performance Acre - Soybean Balanced Crop Nutrition

Objective

Evaluate soybean yield response to MAP (11-52-0) + MOP (0-0-60) and a combination of MicroEssentials® S10® (12-40-0-10S) + Aspire® (0-0-58-0.5B).

OVERVIEW

  • Phosphorus (P) and potassium (K), along with sulfur (S) and boron (B), are essential nutrients needed for a balanced crop nutrition program in soybeans. 

  • MicroEssentials S10 supplies multiple nutrients fused into one nutritionally balanced granule, promoting uniform nutrient distribution, increased nutrient uptake, two forms of S for season-long availability and higher yields.

  • Aspire combines potash along with two forms of B (fast and slow release) in every granule for uniform distribution, season-long B availability, and a flexible application window.

TRIAL DETAILS

Crop: Soybean (Glycine max)

Years: 2019–2020

Locations: 5 trials across the following states - KS, MO, NE

Data Source: Field studies conducted by independent, third-party researchers.

Experimental Design: Small-plot RCBD with 4 replications.

Cropping Conditions: All trials conformed to local cropping practices.

TREATMENTS:

Treatment (Trmnt) / Rates / Timing:

  1. P Rate: 40 lbs P₂O₅/ac applied as MAP or MicroEssentials S10

  2. K Rate: 60 lbs K₂O/ac applied as MOP or Aspire

  3. S Rate: 10 lbs S/ac applied as a blend of MicroEssentials S10

  4. Application Timing: Spring Preplant

Application Method: Broadcast Incorporated

RESULTS

Performance Acre™ - Soybean Balanced Crop Nutrition - Results

SUMMARY

  • Soybean yield increased with the addition of S and B.

  • MicroEssentials S10 + Aspire increased soybean yield 3.7 bu/ac over MAP + MOP.

  • Higher yields with the Performance Acre demonstrate the value of a variety of macro- and micronutrients, uniform nutrient distribution, increased nutrient uptake, and two forms of S (sulfate and elemental) and B (sodium and calcium borate) for a balanced crop nutrition program in soybeans.
