University of Nebraska Extension says deciding whether to inoculate soybeans should be based on soybean nitrogen needs, the probability of a yield response and data.
Soil pH, when soybeans were last planted, soil texture and any experience with droughts or floods can all factor into whether inoculating soybeans will provide a return on investment.

Soybeans obtain up to 70% of their total nitrogen requirement from biological nitrogen fixation conducted by Rhizobia bacteria colonies (nodules) living on soybean roots. If the nodules fail to form, the plants will become deficient in nitrogen and significant yield reductions can occur.
The best methods to apply nitrogen for no-till corn and dealing with a soybean crop that has little nodulation are among the topics discussed recently on the No-Till Farmer sponsored Web site Bulletin Board.
