Foliar treatment descriptions and years evaluated in the NC State Soybean Extension foliar yield enhancement trials. Trial locations by county, year, average yield, participating county Extension agent, and cooperating grower. Estimate statements were used to compare treatments to a nontreated control. The data was analyzed using PROC Mixed in SAS 9.4.

Soybean yield data is reported at 13 percent moisture. Grain was collected using a small-plot combine. Nutrients applied in foliar fertilizers varied between products (Table 3). We evaluated fungicides, stress reducers, and fertilizers (Table 2).

Each treatment was evaluated in four replications per location. Instead, the Soybean Extension program applied the foliar treatments using a four wheeler-mounted sprayer and made applications based on targeted soybean growth stages. We asked growers not to apply foliar products to research plots. At each location, standard grower production practices were used (variety, row spacing, seeding rate, soil-applied fertility). This study was conducted across 19 North Carolina environments from 2013 to 2018 (Table 1). Materials and Methods Skip to Materials and Methods
