The purpose of this study is to evaluate two foliar applied products and their ability to increase plant health and profitability.

2017 Multi-Location Soybean Foliar Product Study

Foliar feeding row crops has been a hot topic recently, and at Beck’s PFR we aim to test these products to see how they will fair in real-world situations. When it comes to foliar feeding soybeans, we’ve had some success in the past. PCT Soybean Foliar Xtra gained 1.9 Bu./A. as an average over three locations and Over The Top™ Soybeans w/ Potash bumped yields by 0.2 Bu./A. over those same locations. Both products are a source of N-P-K, and a myriad of micronutrients. In this case, timing proved to be a factor as we saw the biggest yield gain when PCT was applied at the V4 growth stage. However, neither treatment gained enough yield to create a positive return on investment.
