Mid-‐Season Soybean Development
When summer begins and days slowly get shorter it’s a crucial 6me in the development of the soybean plant. It’s very important to understand mid-‐season soybean growth staging (R1-‐R4) to make 6mely management decisions to protect yield.
As the nights lengthen this triggers a soybean plant to ini6ate flower which is the first stage of reproduc6on (R1). This stage is period of rapid growth and flowers begin to form on the main stem. Full flower or full bloom (R2) occurs when an open flower develops at one of the two uppermost nodes on the main stem. Beginning pod (R3) occurs when one of the four uppermost nodes has a pod that is 3/16 inch. Soybean plants generally can compensate for temporary stresses, but if a long period of stress happens during this stage a decrease in total pod and beans per pod can occur. The final stage of mid-‐season development, full pod (R4) occurs when one of the four uppermost nodes will have a pod that is ¾ inch long.
Understanding growth staging will aid in making management decisions. Insec6cide applica6ons are an important piece of protec6ng yield when plants are under stress from insect pressure. During R3-‐R6 leaf defolia6on and pod feeding can dras6cally reduce yields. Watching threshold levels during these 6mes is crucial to prevent yield reduc6on. Insec6cide seed treatments have dras6cally reduced early season pressure of bean leaf beetles and soybean aphids, but as the season progresses it is important to pay aRen6on during these soybean stages to mi6gate losses from insect pressure.
Along with monitoring for insect pressure, it is important to manage for late season disease pressure. Environmental condi6ons play a big part in how severe of disease pressure we may face. Condi6ons that allow the canopy to stay warm and moist will accelerate disease growth and move the disease farther up the soybean plant. Fungicides can control this disease pressure during the reproduc6ve stages and provide a solid return on investment. Op6mum 6ming for applica6on is R2-‐R5 to apply a fungicide to cure and prevent any further disease growth on the soybean plant.
The next 4-‐6 weeks are crucial in the development of the soybean plant so understanding where the crop is at development wise will help in monitoring our soybean plant health. With the coopera6on of Mother Nature dealing us a fair hand the rest of the growing season, and paying aRen6on to soybean development and implemen6ng these soybean management strategies will put us in good positon for strong yields come this fall.

Farm Smarter, Not Harder – Breaking old habits and trying something new.
Every day we look for answers to ques4ons and might not immediately know the answer. I find myself looking for that “Easy Bu=on”, are we providing insight with value, or are we pretending to have a crystal ball? We can’t see into the future to tell what Harvest will bring, but we do have tools that give a good idea of what to look forward too. Technology is changing constantly and we have more tools today than our fathers or grandfathers had. So why keep farming the way they did?
Today we have advisors that can tell us how much, when, and why to apply fer4lizer and imagery that can diagnose issues before the human eye can see what’s happening. These tools bring value to your farm and fix issues before it’s too late. CHS YieldPoint and Climate Fieldview Pro and Plus are a just a glimpse into what we offer.
Does a field need 100 or 200 pounds of Nitrogen? Should I put on my nitrogen in the Fall, Spring, or split apply? We can use Climate’s Nitrogen advisors for answers! Plug in a yield goal, plan4ng date, typical fer4lizer applica4on and out comes a view of how sufficient or deficient our plan leaves us. Throw in aerial imagery for progress on hundreds of acres in a glimpse. Finding issues before stepping foot in the field and focus on these areas provides true insight. As imagery becomes more accurate and 4mely, our knowledge becomes greater. Crop progress can be seen from our phone, iPad, or computer and scou4ng 50,000 acres per day instead of 500. Our programs look at imagery on 9-‐inch resolu4on instead of 90 feet and weekly instead of monthly. We are more efficient, deliver more value to our farmer owners with real world answers to your ques4ons. Your loca4on has a CHS Yieldpoint specialist wai4ng to work with you. Talk to your CHS Eastern Farmers agronomist and make 4me for this today.
