Can biologicals fill the soybean nitrogen gap? The jury's still out

More than 100 research studies show that soybeans typically suffer from a nitrogen gap when yields exceed 60 bu/ac. At that yield level, the combination of soil nitrogen and nodulation often doesn't provide what the plant requires to achieve higher yields. Could biologicals - including nitrogen-fixing endophytes and biostimulants - fill that "yield gap" and provide the nitrogen required at high yield levels? That's a question Syngenta Canada biological field specialist Greg Stewart has been working on for the past two years.
