Nitrogen Rates for Winter Wheat Following Soybeans
2007

Winter wheat has a strong tradition in Wisconsin, particularly in the south central and eastern counties. It fits well in rotations with canning crops which are popular there. But in recent years, corn and soybean growers who are looking to diversify their rotation also find winter wheat attractive. Wheat typically follows soybeans in the rotation and can be drilled notill into the soybean residue. This leads to the question: What is the optimum nitrogen (N) application rate for wheat following soybeans?
