Summary

This two-part presentation on soybean yield will help consultants, growers, and other practitioners in all regions of the United States. Although examples and data are from the north central region of the country, concepts can be applied wherever soybean is grown. Part 1 discusses soybean yield and how factors during the plant’s life cycle influence yield. Part 2 builds on information presented in Part 1 and describes six keys to increasing soybean yield. By the end of the presentation, practitioners will better understand how soybean plants produce yield and will be able to use that understanding to develop cropping systems that enhance profitable soybean production.​

About the Presenter

William J. Wiebold​ William J. Wiebold has an extension/research appointment related to soybean and corn management.
