16. Digging Deep into Soil Science Part 2 with Professor Emeritus R. Jay Goos

Ag Geek Speak

Iron deficiency chlorosis (IDC) in soybeans can be a formidable challenge. What if you could manage it with precision agriculture? Join us for an enlightening conversation with Professor Emeritus Dr. R. Jay Goos, a leading authority in the topic, as we discuss how farmers can pinpoint and treat IDC in their fields. Dr. Goos delves into the intricate world of breeding IDC-resistant soybean varieties and discusses the vital role of resources like NDSU's IDC variety trials (https://vt.ag.ndsu.edu/view/6750).
What are some ways that IDC can be managed with precision agriculture methods? Dr. Goos, Sarah, and Jodi discuss. Knowing previous crop history and collecting satellite imagery from soybean years can be put together to create "IDC" management zones that can be targeted for management. These IDC maps can help direct the use of iron EDDHA fertilizers, variable seeding rates, and variable fertilizer rates to manage soybean IDC.
Ever wonder why old herbicides are making a comeback? Dr. Goose draws fascinating parallels between agricultural trends and fashion cycles, emphasizing the importance of increasing soybean density to combat IDC. From soil testing techniques to the potential of precision agriculture, we cover it all. Finally, we'll take a closer look at advancements in North Dakota agriculture, from managing salt-affected soils to the pivotal role of research extension centers and the North Dakota State Board of Agriculture Research and Education in driving agricultural innovation.
