Proceedings of the Integrated Crop Management Conference
Iowa State University Conferences and Symposia

The Iowa State University Integrated Crop Management Conference is Iowa's premier crop production education event. No other program in Iowa brings together the diverse range of topics, slate of expert presenters and results of the latest University research.

The ICM Conference offers workshops focusing on the latest in crop production technology. Experts from Iowa and surrounding states will provide research updates and results in soil fertility, soil and water management, crop production and pest management.

Abstract

The reason for the yield advantage of rotations is still speculative. Differences in soil nutrients, soil moisture, diseases, insects, weeds, and soil physical properties have all been considered to be responsible for this effect. It was not until the late '70s that a non-nitrogen soybean effect on the following corn crop was substantially documented. Corn after soybeans consistently performed better than second-year corn irrespective of nitrogen fertilization. In previous work done with the soybean-corn rotation, there has never been an evaluation of the potentially different effects of soybean varieties on following corn yields. This study aimed to evaluate whether such differences exist.
