Soybean emergence can improve with a starter fertilizer application, but no-tillers must continue managing the crop throughout the season to see a return on investment.

Corn is usually the main focus of a grower’s fertility program, but no-tillers should pay just as much attention to their soybeans by knowing their soil quality and understanding nutrient availability.
No-tillers can use a plant analysis as a routine monitoring tool to ensure a plant’s nutrient levels are adequate or as a diagnostic tool to help explain any variability or problems seen in soybean growth and appearance.
Results from Iowa State University trials showed that the value of tissue testing is not better than soil testing as a diagnostic tool, and should be used to complement use of soil testing for making fertilization decisions.
In some cases, starter fertilizer applications might be worth exploring for soybeans due to the crop's removal of nutrients per bushel of grain harvested, says Kansas State University Extension.
