Soybean response to standing water and saturated soils
Recent heavy rainfall in portions of Kansas may have resulted in standing water and/or saturated soil in some locations. These conditions have the potential to negatively impact soybean production. Read more here from Cropping Specialist Ignacio Ciampitti.
Effect of standing water and saturated soils on corn growth
Standing water or saturated soil conditions in areas of a field can impact corn now or later. Periods of early-season water saturation can cause immediate problems for small corn plants and have season-long implications. This article discusses the potential impacts and complicating factors when corn fields are subjected to standing water.
Effect of standing water and saturated soils on corn growth
Recent rains and forecasted precipitation could increase saturated soils and standing water in Kansas corn fields, especially in low-lying areas. Early-season flooding can stunt young corn plants and lead to long-term yield impacts. Stay informed and monitor affected fields closely.
Soybean response to standing water and saturated soils
Soybean planting is underway in Kansas, but recent heavy rains have left some fields saturated or underwater. This can delay emergence, cause compaction, reduce stand uniformity, and lead to seedling loss. This article explains how to assess damage, variety tolerance to flooding, and when to submit samples for diagnostics.
