Production Guides

Raising high-yielding soybeans takes sound management. Thanks in part to NDSC support, NDSU has developed a series of issue-specific production guides to help North Dakota better manage many common soybean challenges.

 

  • Soybean Production Guide

The basics of soybean production are often the most important factors in raising soybeans. Learn more about all aspects of soybean production by downloading the NDSU Soybean Production Field Guide.

 

  • Fungicides

Fungicides are increasingly being used to help get soybeans off to a good start in the face of disease and pest pressure. Find out more about the role fungicides can play.

 

  • Insects 

Soybeans face pressure from a wide range of pests, including insects. Timely and effective management can be vital to producing good yields. Information on insect management can be found here.

 

  • Weed Control

Few challenges are currently more daunting for North Dakota farmers than weed control. Herbicide resistant weeds and evolving weed populations require farmers to stay up to date in order to effectively manage weed populations and the seed bank. NDSU’s Weed Control Guide is a good place to find information that can help farmers with the war on weeds.
