Rotational Considerations

By: Rachel Vann, Jim Dunphy

This publication, chapter 3 of the North Carolina Soybean Production Guide, discusses crop rotation and cover crops in soybean production.

Soybean Fertilizer Burn

By: Rachel Vann, Donald Stokes

Fertilizer burn can occur to the soybean seed from an in-furrow application and to the foliage from a foliar application. An in-furrow application can cause salt injury or ammonium toxicity to the soybean seed. Fertilizer is somewhat rarely applied to soybeans over-the-crop, however if it is done fertilizer burn can occur depending on source and concentration. This factsheet discusses the symptoms and management of fertilizer burn.

Grain Pea Production in North Carolina

By: Rachel Vann, Chris Reberg-Horton, Esleyther Henriquez Inoa

Planting Rate Recommendations for Organic Soybean Producers

By: George Place, Adam Smith, Rachel Vann, Chris Reberg-Horton

For organic soybean producers increased seeding rates improve early soybean canopy density, which shades out weeds in the early stages of weed competition. Organic soybean producers can increase seeding rates with much less of a negative impact on economic return than for conventional production with herbicides.

Soybean Hurricane Damage

By: Rachel Vann, Donald Stokes

This factsheet discusses the effect on soybean fields after a hurricane and how to proceed with production after extended rain or a flood.
