Growth Supplement 30 on Soybeans in Wisconsin
Overview
In Wisconsin, a grower compared how two different varieties of soybeans responded to Growth Supplement 30. A cool spring led to slowing growth across the entire field, regardless of variety or treatment. Both varieties were treated with Growth Supplement 30 via broadcast drone at growth stage V5 and growth stage R2. One variety responded to Growth Supplement 30 with an increased yield of 1.02 bushels per acre when compared to the control.

The P11Z72E variety had a +1.02 bushels/acre yield response
The P17Z39E had a -1.55 bushels/acre yield response
Key Findings
This trial had two soybean varieties planted.
The P11Z72E variety had a +1.02 bushels/acre yield response
The P17Z39E had a -1.55 bushels/acre yield response
It was reported that emergence issues led to a projected 7% yield loss
It was also reported that a very cool spring led to soybeans growing very slow early in the growing season
