Methodology
Prairie Brand PP160 was no-tilled into soybean residue on 6/3/15 at 148,000 seeds with 3 gal 10-34-0 ac-1 in-furrow. In addition to fungicide and insecticide, the seed was also treated with Bioboost+, an inoculant containing Delftia acidovorans and Bradyrhizobium. A foliar application of 18-0-8 was applied at 2 gal ac1 on Jul. 30 at R3 to provide 4-0-2 lbs ac-1. For increased crop safety, 72% of the N and 100% of the K2O were in the triazone and acetate forms, respectively. The field received approx. 10.2” of rain from June 1 through August 31, accumulating 3.5” after the application.
Results
On average, the treated strips yielded no differently than the estimated yield of those same strips without the foliar fertilizer (Table 2). This estimate was calculated from data surrounding both sides of each strip. The best foliar fertilizer results for this farmer in 2015 came from 10-0-2 lbs ac-1 applied at R3 to a nearby field previously in no-till corn.
