A of great importance in the continued economical production of soybeans in view of the vast expansion in soybean acreage and the constant decrease in fertility of the soil, is the application of mineral fertilizers to soybeans under those conditions that warrant their use. Since soybeans are frequently impeded in gegnination and emergence by mineral fertilizers, it is of importance to know what kind and amount of fertilizer may be applied and under what conditions, without injurious effects to the germinating seed and the young seedlings. Studies were conducted at Lafayette, Ind., by the U. S. Regional Soybean Industrial Products Laboratory 3 and Purdue University Agricultural Experiment Station cooperating, from 1939 to ~941, inclusive, to determine (a) the influence of kind and rate of application of fertilizers, (b) fertilizek placement, (c) soil moisture content, and (d) soil type on the emergence of soybeans.
