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.
