Information Bulletin - Optimize Your Late Planted Soybeans

When planting is delayed, rapid germination, fast emergence and quicker nodulation are keys to success. Sunlight is a critical limiting factor in soybean production. A rapidly emerging, vigorous stand ensures the soybean crop collects all the sunlight it can. Optimize with LCO Promoter Technology® for soybeans can help make the most out of every day that is left in the growing season.

In a late season, the growing period from planting to physiological maturity is substantially reduced compared to early planted soybeans – this results in a shorter nitrogen fixation period. Optimize, with LCO Promoter Technology, improves nitrogen fixation because it initiates early nodulation and increased nodule development.

Optimize: Excellent Roots, Enhanced Plant Growth and Extraordinary ROI

Enhanced Root System - for improved nutrient and water uptake. Even though it may be wet now, developing a strong root system with earlier and more intense nodulation will protect you from weather stresses throughout the season.

Improved Vigor, Stand and Emergence - produces healthier, faster-developing plants.

Faster Canopy Closure - maximizes sunlight capture, reduces weed pressure and conserves soil moisture.

Flexible Compatibility – with all popular seed treatments.
