Abstract

Soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) has become one of the main agricultural grain crops produced in the United States. Soybean production continues to increase in high-yield environments throughout the U.S. New innovations are required to sustain gains in soybean yield potential. Field experiments were conducted at the Delta Research and Extension Center in Stoneville, MS in 2014 and 2015 to evaluate soybean aboveground biomass and grain yield response to supplemental N fertilization in a high-yielding environment on two soil textures commonly cropped to soybean in Mississippi. Greenhouse studies were conducted in 2016 at the Delta Research and Extension Center in Stoneville, MS to evaluate the influence of supplemental N fertilization on nodule formation and belowground biomass of soybean on two soil textures commonly cropped to soybean in Mississippi.
