Methodology

Producers Hybrids 1216NRX soybeans were planted on May 27, 2018 at 140,000 seeds/acre in 30 inch rows.  Soil-Set® was applied pre-emergence at 16 ounces/acre.  Soil-Set® is a biological product.

Results

Soil-Set® had little effect (0.37 bu/ac) on soybean yield.  A yield increase of 0.93 bu/ac would have been required for there to be significant differences at the 90% confidence level.  Future research is required to determine if biologicals can increase soybean yield.
