Double Crop Soybean Considerations

Laura Lindsey

Small grain harvest will soon be underway. For profitable double crop soybean production, there must be adequate time for the production of the soybean crop and soil moisture. Double crop soybean management differs from traditional, full-season soybean management.

Relative Maturity- Relative maturity has little effect on yield when soybeans are planted during the first three weeks of May. However, the effect of relative maturity can be larger for later planting dates. When planting double crop…https://agcrops.osu.edu/newsletter/corn-newsletter/2018-17/double-crop-soybean-considerations

Rest of June warmer than normal with high rainfall variability Jim Noel Not much has change since last week in terms of the outlook. The rest of June is likely to be warmer than normal with high variability of rainfall but tendency to above normal rainfall.

It appears a heat dome will be centered in the south central U.S. this summer with periods where it shifts over the corn and soybean belt and Ohio Valley. The next surge of heat will come this weekend into early next week. With these surges come a ring of fire of storms around the heat dome leading to locally…https://agcrops.osu.edu/newsletter/corn-newsletter/2018-17/rest-june-warmer-normal-high-rainfall-variability

Wheat and Barley: Cool, Wet Late-Season Conditions Pierce Paul Cool weather and moisture after flowering often means extended grain-fill and high yields, especially when disease levels are as low as they were at the time of pollination and early grain development in some fields. However, excessive rainfall associated with the cool temperatures could increase the severity of diseases that thrive under cool conditions. But with the crop now well into grain-fill and even turning in some locations, there is very little you can do about late-season diseases….https://agcrops.osu.edu/newsletter/corn-newsletter/2018-17/wheat-and-barley-cool-wet-late-season-conditions

Diagnosing Soybean Seedling Issues in 2018 Anne Dorrance, Kelley Tilmon, Laura Lindsey, Mark Loux It seemed to take forever this spring, but hopefully all of your soybeans are planted ? for the first and only time.? Ohio?s biggest challenge is replanting; it is costly (new seed, cost of planting, lower yields due to delay in planting).? The first step is assessing overall stand health ? do you have enough plants to obtain the best yields?? Based on a substantial amount of data, for soybeans planted in May, a harvest population of at least 100,000 plants/acre is generally adequate…https://agcrops.osu.edu/newsletter/corn-newsletter/2018-17/diagnosing-soybean-seedling-issues-2018
