Abstract

Understanding total nutrient uptake and partitioning patterns is foundational for sustainable soil fertility programs. These studies aimed to determine the effect of common soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] varieties on total nutrient uptake and removal patterns of midsouthern U.S.A. soybean produced in furrow-irrigated and rainfed environments. The effects of soybean variety (Local Seed 3976X, Local Seed 4415XFS, Local Seed 5009XS, Local Seed 5418XFS) on season-long uptake, partitioning, and removal of nutrients were investigated at Stoneville, MS, on a Commerce very fine sandy loam (Fine-silty, mixed, super active, nonacid, thermic, Fluvaquentic Endoaquepts) in 2023 and 2024. Soybean variety had an effect on nutrient partitioning throughout the growing season but had no effect on total nutrient uptake in both environments. In a furrow-irrigated environment, planting a Local Seed (LS) 5418XFS soybean reduced all nutrient removal in harvested grain up to 73%, compared to LS 3976X, 4415XFS, and 5009XS soybean. These data indicate that soybean soil fertility programs should not be altered based on in-season nutrient uptake considerations, but growers should note the additional removal amounts incurred by planting LS 3976X, 4415XFS, and 5009XS soybean varieties.
