- What they found
Desiccating soybeans can help create more uniform harvest moisture and reduce issues with storage by eliminating those green pockets in a field that could be caused by stress or other issues. Timing the application is critical to success. Beck's would not necessarily expect yield gains, but additional years of research are required.
