As July progresses, many soybean fields are entering the reproductive stages of growth. This is when the crop shifts its focus from building leaves and stems to developing flowers, pods, and seeds.
Potash
During reproductive growth, nutrient demand increases significantly. Potassium (potash) becomes especially important as soybeans move through pod fill. Potash helps support water movement, nutrient transport, photosynthesis, and overall plant function. As pods begin to develop and seeds start filling, soybean plants require large amounts of potassium to help support yield potential.
Sulfur
Sulfur is another key nutrient during this stage. Sulfur plays an important role in protein formation and helps support seed quality as soybeans mature. Adequate sulfur availability can help support healthy plant function throughout reproductive growth.
This is why many growers choose to incorporate DropKick into their reproductive-stage soybean programs. With a 4-0-20-8S analysis plus boron, DropKick delivers potassium and sulfur during a period when crop demand is increasing.
Sugar
For additional support, consider pairing DropKick with 1 quart of Sweet ’n Loam. Derived from cane molasses, Sweet ’n Loam provides sugar-based energy that fits easily into many fertility and foliar programs.
