Methodology
Soybeans were planted in 30-inch rows at 142,000 seeds/ac in Kingsbury Co. on May 8, 2023. During planting, a mixture of in-furrow biological products from Biovante were applied. Additional details of these products can be found in the document below the yield maps. Here were the application rates of the products:
BioRed IF — 6oz/ac
BioFlex — 4oz/ac
BioMate — 6oz/ac
Assist — 6 oz/ac
BioCarbon 12 — 12 oz/ac
The Biovante mix was applied in 120 ft wide test strips in the field. Soybeans were harvested on September 14, 2023, and yield analysis was conducted on the middle two passes from each treated strip. The field was classified into two different yield zones, which were medium (35-55 bu/ac) and high (>55 bu/ac). This report evaluates both of the yield zones together.
Results
The Biovante mix had no significant effect on the soybean yields (90% confidence interval) since the difference between treatments was less than 0.7 bu/ac (Figure1 & Table 1). Additional trials with this mix are needed in the future.
