4 Goals for Soybean Fertility

We've broken this fertility program into four goals that a grower should try to optimize yield and set the crop up for a good yield next year. Within each of these goals we're going to focus on the role various plant nutrients play during those stages of crop development.

• Priming the soil
• Stress Mitigation
• Flowering
• Pod Fill

Priming the Soil

Goal Number One - Soil Preparation

• Provide a nutrient rich soil for germination – N, P, S
• Nodule formation
• Seed treatments to help with disease resistance
  • Assist plants to metabolize post herbicides 
  • Improves nitrogen production
  • Reduce abiotic plant stress

Key Nutrients

• Manganese
• Iron
• Sulfur
• Molybdenum

Products and Timing

• BRANDT EnzUp Zn 1 qt/a
  • (4% Zn)
• BRANDT EnzUp Mn Plus 1 qt/a
  • (3% Mn)
• BRANDT Uptake Starter 1 -4 pints/a
  • (4% N, 1% K2O, 4% S)

Release Bonded Nutrition in Cold Soils

• Phosphorus
• Calcium
• Magnesium
• Manganese
• Zinc
• Iron
• Copper
• Boron

MANNANASE:  Breaks down exudates around root tip and organic carbon, which releases sugars and improves water and nutrient uptake

LIPASE:  Breaks down lipid portion of organic matter into smaller more digestible units, potentially also mineralizing N and P into plant available forms.

Stress Mitigation

Goal Number Two - Mitigate Stress

• Zn and Mn, assist with stress mitigation
• Metabolize herbicide
• Stimulate root growth

Key Nutrients

• Nitrogen
• Boron
• Manganese
• Zinc

Products and Timing

• BRANDT Smart Sulfur Plus 1 -2 qt/a
  • (5% N, 5% S, 0.5% B, 1.5% Mn, 0.05% Mo, 1.5% Zn)
• BRANDT Smart Trio 1 -2 qt/a
  • (4% N, 3% S, 0.25% B, 3% Mn, 3% Zn)
• BRANDT Smart Quatro Plus 1 -2 qt/a
  • (5% N, 2% S, 0.5% B, 2% Mn, 0.05% Mo, 2% Zn)
• BRANDT Smart Mn Plus 1 - 2 qt/a
  • (5% N, 2% S, 4% Mn)

BRANDT Smart Mn PlusSoybean Tissue Test – Average of 9 Location – 2017 to 2018

Soybean Acres Highly Susceptible to Mn Deficiencies

Mn Deficiency has Significant Impact on Photosynthetic Activity

Green = Soybean Acres

Blue = High Incidence of Mn Deficiency

1. High pH soils with low Mn content

2. Isolated soil pockets with low Mn

3. Pockets of black sandy soils, muck and lakebed soils.  Low Mn soil levels.

4. Low pH, well drained sandy coastal plains soil and high rain fall. Low Mn soil levels.
