Abstract

While previous research has been contradictory, potential grain yield responses and seed protein increases have led to continuing interest in N fertilizer application to soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.]. Field experiments were conducted at seven locations from 1990 to 1991 in Alabama to determine soybean response to N fertilization at vinous growth stages. Treatments included a factorial arrangement of soybean cultivar ('Stonewall' or 'Sharkey') and N rate/timing treatments in a split plot design. Nitrogen rate/timing treatments were: (i) no N, (ii) 30 Ib N/acre at planting, (iii) 50 Ib N/acre at first bloom (R1), and (iv) 50 Ib N/acre at early pod fill (R5). Plant samples were collected at R1 and R5 for dry matter yield and N determination. Grain yields were determined and grain samples were collected at harvest for protein and oil analyses [...]
