Soybeans are one of the largest commodities in the US, which makes farming them a lucrative career choice in the ag industry. But soybean farming doesn’t come without its own challenges. Tariffs on Chinese trade have destabilized the soybean markets, pigweed infestations are spreading at an alarming rate across the US, and recent flooding in parts of the Midwest have spelled disaster for many farmers. In order to responsibly handle these external challenges, many farmers look to innovate their daily practices to increase their yield while reducing costs. The majority of soybean farmers nowadays opt to use an air-seeder for planting...

Experts all agree that there is no silver bullet to control weeds in the organic cultivation of soybeans... Soybean vs WeedsWeed control is the main problem in organic agriculture including in soybeans. It is more difficult to control weeds in soybeans because of their compact foliage, which takes longer than grain crops to produce an interlocking canopy that shades inter-row area... For example, common lambsquarters (Chenopodium album), sunflower (Helianthus annuus), and yellow nutsedge (Cyperus esculentus) can reduce the germination of soybeans by 40-90%. Weeds not only compete with soybeans for space, light, and nutrients, but they can also transmit diseases and pests, and cause problems during harvesting...

So far he has seen success with soybeans into wheat, but he’s also working on corn intercropped with a legume... He’s now saving around $200 an acre on input costs, while increasing revenue through high-yielding soybeans — Mauck currently holds the state record for soybean yield per acre... This leaves a 41-inch space for the soybeans... Wheat residue helps suppress weeds as the intercropped soybeans continue to grow. Wheat also allows Jason Mauck to plant his soybeans a month earlier than his mono-cropped soybeans...

The weed control measures used in soybean production need to be overhauled. The development of resistance in weeds has made current technology and management increasingly expensive and comes accompanied with heavy yield losses. Precision management solutions can reduce chemical use in several ways. Current Weed Management in SoybeansSoybean is important for the global economy as it is used as a source for oil and protein (for people and livestock) and as biodiesel...

Although about 80% of the nitrogen in the air can not be directly used by ordinary plants, peanuts,but soybeans, alfalfa and other leguminous plants can only convert the molecular nitrogen in the air into ammonia nitrogen that can be used by plants through symbiotic nitrogen fixation with rhizobia. After the seeds germinate and take root, rhizobia invade the roots from the root hairs. Under certain conditions, they form nodules with nitrogen fixing ability. Under the action of nitrogen fixing enzymes, the bacteroids in the nodules convert molecular nitrogen into ammonia nitrogen. At the same time, each nodule is a miniature nitrogen fertilizer plant, which continuously delivers nitrogen to plants for utilization...

“We don’t have it all figured out just yet,” Monte Bottens, founder of Ag Solutions Network admits, referencing a weedy field of soybeans at harvest this fall. Bottens Family Farm, in the heart of Illinois farm country, made a commitment to remove glyphosate from their operation two years ago. A couple of specific cover crop burndown needs on a select number of acres required them to use a small amount this last season but, “other than that, we have stopped using glyphosate,” Monte said. “I think farmers across the country are all passionate about farming and trying to do the right thing... ”Another one of the changes Monte has really pushed for on their farm is getting non-GMO soybeans into the system...
