Recent estimates put the number of acres planted with glyphosate resistant soybeans at approximately 80% of total US acres. Manganese is recognized as the most important micronutrient for effective growing and yield maximization in the soybean crop. There are various field growing conditions that can inhibit the availability of manganese in our cropping systems. Recent research done at Purdue University indicates that the incorporation of the glyphosate resistant gene in the soybean plant predisposes the plant to micronutrient deficiencies (Dodds et al.) This same research also indicates that a glyphosate application exacerbates the deficiency symptoms and can have a negative impact on yields.
