Traditionally, soybeans do not received much, if any, fertilizer. Soybeans are efficient in providing their own nitrogen through biological nitrogen fixation and typically, there has been enough residual phosphorus and potassium left behind by previous crops to provide essential nutrients.
Should I fertilize soybeans?
The fertilizer needs of the crop are often neglected while attention is mostly directed at fertilizing other crops in the rotation. Soybean crop yields will decrease when it lacks essential nutrients. Therefore, it's important to develop a profitable fertilizer program to maximize crop yields.
How much does soybean fertilizer cost per acre?
Fertilizer costs increased more for corn than soybeans. As shown in Table 1, corn fertilizer costs increase $47 per acre (from $93 to $140 per acre) while soybean fertilizer costs increased $17 per acre (from $39 per acre to $56 per acre).
