Planting date effects on soybean yield and foliar nutrient concentrations across the Mid‐Atlantic region Soybean yield in the Mid-Atlantic was mostly unaffected by planting date between mid-April and late May. Nutrient concentrations in the upper trifoliate were lower for potassium, calcium, sulfur, an...

Evaluating routine agronomic soil tests for coastal soil salinity detection in the mid‐Atlantic Soil salinity assessments are needed to guide management in coastal regions of the Eastern United States. Saturated paste extractions are not offered as a routine agronomic soil test outside the Wes.....

Just published: using the Na extracted by Mehlich-3 you can convert to saturated paste ECe and SAR values to interpret coastal soil salinity. Next have to tie it to crop responses.

Our extension irrigation specialist covers strip cropping and biological amendements, neither of which penciled out in Delaware.

We had a great session at our Hay and Pasture workshop for Ag Week. Thanks to UMD extension for providing some great speakers! Wednesday we have Veggies, Precison Ag and Soil Health!

Delaware Ag Week starts tomorrow. Please check this webpage for an updated schedule, including cancelations due to AI. sites.udel.edu/delawareagwe...

The schedule for Delware Ag Week (Jan 13 to 16th 2025) is posted if you would like to plan for upcoming sessions. sites.udel.edu/delawareagwe...

I guess it's a warm fall when we get volunteer soybean in our cover crop.

This years population and row spacing studies for soybean include rainfed and double crop plots. Read more on the blog -> sites.udel.edu/agronomy/202...
