    Foliar fertilizers rarely increase yield in United States soybean
    Matcham, Emma G.; Vann, R. Atwell; Lindsey, Laura E.; Gaska, John M.; Lilley, Dylan T.; Ross, W. Jeremy; Wright, David L.; Knott, Carrie; Lee, Chad D.; Moseley, David; Singh, Maninder; Naeve, Seth L.; Irby, J.

    Farmers have been interested in using foliar-applied nutrient products to increase soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] yield since at least the 1970s, despite limited evidence that these products offer consistent yield increases when used prophylactically. Recently, interest in foliar fertilizer products for soybean production has been renewed, likely related to elevated soybean prices. Over the 2019 and 2020 growing seasons (46 site-years), agronomists in 16 states collaborated to test six foliar nutrient treatments (commercial mixtures of macro- and micro-nutrients) on soybean grain yield and composition. Soybean grain yield and composition differed among sites but not among foliar fertilizer treatments. Results show that prophylactic foliar fertilization is likely to decrease the profitability of soybean production. Foliar fertilizer products tested in this study and similar products should not be recommended to U.S. soybean farmers in the absence of visual symptoms of nutrient deficiency.

    'S17-2243C' (Reg. no. CV-557, PI 700003) is a semi-determinate, maturity group IV (relative maturity 4.9), non-genetically modified (non-GM) soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] cultivar developed and released by the University of Missouri-Fisher Delta Research, Extension, and Education Center. S17-2243C was developed to meet the growing demands for new non-GM soybean cultivars with high yield and elevated seed oil content. S17-2243C is resistant to stem canker and charcoal rot and has tolerance to salinity conditions. Seed of S17-2243C has averaged 232 g kg(-1) of oil concentration on a dry weight basis, which was significantly higher than all check cultivars in the 2020 USDA Uniform Soybean Tests, Southern States. S17-2243C was tested against high-yielding private and public soybean cultivars from 2018 to 2021 in 80 locations across 12 states, including Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. With high yield potential, broad adaptability, early maturity, elevated seed oil content, and non-GM traits, S17-2243C is an excellent cultivar choice for soybean growers adopting alternative growing systems and benefiting from premium prices offered for non-GM soybean products.
