In Reply to: Soybean innoculant? posted by Dave from MN on February 28, 2008 at 04:13:22:
Innoculant costs very little per acre. Sometimes as little as a buck. And even if the field has had beans recently and you are no till, the rhyzobia are only going to be close to the row, not distributed everywhere and its possible the next planting won't be close all the time.
And there are different varieties of rhyzobia the help beans. Old innoculations may not be as good as newer varieties. America's Best claims to have three varieties and with great activity to show a difference. Beans I planted on 2004 with those grew lanky but yielded a lot better than beans I planted in 2006 where they were attacked by bean leaf beetles.
You might wish to have the beans for the pasture ground treated with the cruizer max package to hold off bean leaf beetles and some fungi and still plan for at least one insecticide spray in the mid summer for beetles, maybe aphids or mites. The need for a mid summer fungicide will be argueable all summer. Some places it will pay huge, some places it won't pay at all.
And after the beans are up a bit and have their first true trifoliate full grown, taking samples of that for tissue tests for micronutrients might show where a foliar spray would pay off.
