Foliar Application of Micronutrients on High Yield Soybeans
I will be talking to Indiana farmers about the benefits of applying micronutrients to their soybean crops. I will be focusing on the importance of having a fully balanced nutritional program and the concept of transient nutrient deficiency. Such concept mentions that plants during certain stages of growth will require more or less amounts of certain nutritients so that their genetic potential can be achieved. The application of micronutrients is a step toward managing such nutritional needs of a crop.
