SOYBEAN PRODUCTS
Our growing and processing of seed revolves around giving you pure, high germinating, weed-free seed. Bin run seed will never match the quality of seed we can produce. Don’t take the risk of putting seed in the ground with unknown germination and/or purity. We also maintain a full stable of varieties across different maturities to meet your seed needs.
Soybean Maturity Zone Adaptability Map
This map shows the soybean maturity groups. A Renk brand can move north or south of its primary maturity designation, but it will mature earlier if moved south, and later if moved north. Plants pushed south or planted later will see reduced height.

SOYBEAN TECHNOLOGIES AND PROTECTION
XtendFlex® soybeans are the newest addition to the Roundup Ready® Xtend Crop System that provides triple-stacked herbicide tolerance to dicamba, glyphosate and glufosinate. XtendFlex® soybeans allow for a wide variety of spray options including a late-season application of glufosinate in those rare cases it is needed.
Enlist E3® soybeans allow the application of Enlist One® (2,4-D choline) or Enlist Duo® (2,4-D choline + glyphosate) herbicide for weed control in fields planted to Enlist E3® soybeans. Enlist E3® soybeans also allow for the spraying of Liberty® Herbicide (glufosinate). Enlist E3® soybeans allow for strong control of hard to control broadleaf weeds such as waterhemp, giant ragweed, and palmer amaranth.
SOYBEAN MANAGEMENT
PLANTING RECOMMENDATIONS
Ideal depth for planting soybeans is 3/4″. Maximum depth is 1 1/2″. Soybeans must be able to push the entire seed out of the ground. Putting the seed too deep under less than ideal conditions can prevent the seed from doing this.
Planting population should be around 150,000 to 200,000 for narrow row planting (15” or less). For wider rows, the population should be in the 130,000 to 170,000 range. Population should be adjusted up or down based on the condition of the seedbed and ability of the planter to put seeds at proper depth and spacing.
Like corn, normally the earlier you can safely plant, the better, in terms of maximizing yield potential. If planting early we would recommend using treated seed to protect the seed if it sits in the ground too long. Use of Saltro treated seed is recommended in areas with a high chance of Sudden Death Syndrome.
FERTILIZER
Soybeans consume a lot of potassium and phosphorous. Make sure there are adequate levels of both. Soybeans should get the majority of their nitrogen needs from symbiotic nitrogen fixing bacteria on their roots. If there is a past history of soybeans in the field there should be enough of a native population to colonize the roots except under high drought or high moisture conditions. Virgin soil that has not seen soybeans require a bacterial inoculation at twice the normal rate.
IN SEASON
Soybeans tend to be very forgiving once they have established. Aggressive early weed control should be followed to keep weeds under control. If in areas where white mold can be an issue, watch for cool and wet conditions at flowering. Here a fungicide treatment might pay for control of white mold.
