Soybean Plot - Progression

The roundup ready soybean plots are similar to the corn plantings - in that they respond quickly to the application of Roundup.

Here is the Soybean pictures:

1 week after Spraying - July 9th, 2006


This Picture is from July 25, 2006 - same Soybean Plot. You can see the darkening of the leaves as the plot begins to absorb the nutients now available.




On August 6th - the plot is filling in nicely. This plot was sprayed a second time on August 5th - the day before this picture was taken. This final spraying should take care of the spraying for the year - as the canopy closes with the plant growth. Heavey deer browsing may require us to apply on last application of roundup - but it is not likely on this plot.

The Last picture below - is a closer view of the soybeans - and how they relate to the corn we always plant in close proxmity to the soybean plots.
