Soybean Fertility Trial Results and Discussion

When we harvested the check and the strip-till treated we saw an advantage of 15.9 bu./ac where we applied the fertilizer. The addition of fertilizer resulted in additional revenue of $195.28 per acre. Even with the very aggressive fertilizer program we realized a net profit of $64.59 per acre. I don’t believe that there is a farmer today that would turn down an additional $64/ac of profitability. The ROI of 49% is nothing to be saying no to.
