Yield effects of seed applied fungicide, insecticide, and Rhizobium innoculants on soybean.
Summary
Optimize Rhizobium innoculant; ApronMaxx and Soygard Multipak fungicides; and Cruiser and Gaucho insecticides, were applied alone and in combinations were applied to soybean seed in a 2004 trial planted at the University of Minnesota Southwest research and outreach center. The trial site had been in a corn/soybean rotation for many years. Crop injury was not observed with any treatment. There were differences in number of nodes/plant at R2 but these did not appear to be associated with any one product and may reflect soil moisture differences early in the season. Under low soybean aphid and bean leaf beetle populations occurred in this trial. Differences in root disease, soybean height, nodulation or yield were not observed among treatments.
