2013-2015 Organic Soybean Variety/Fertility Evaluations
Plots of soybeans were divided between a treatment of potassium sulfate ( 200 lbs/acre), applied before seeding out, and a non-fertilized treatment. Soil samples were collected and analyzed at the PEI Provincial Soil Laboratory.
The report, prepared by Brian Craig and Harvey Cairns, is available on our website.
