Early Soybeans Boost Yields But Challenge Weed Control | Pierre News

New research shows early soybean planting consistently boosts yields across Indiana, even if it means a slightly thinner crop—except in one cold spot where planting suffered. The good news? Lower herbicide rates still work without hurting yield. But here’s the catch: early planting makes weed control harder, giving weeds more time to regrow before the crop shades the ground, increasing resistance risks. So farmers get more beans, but must ramp up weed management to avoid long-term problems. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
