A stress-mitigation product called BIG BEAN tested its specialized soybean nutrition that may reduce stress-related yield losses
The Ag Partners Cooperation conducted the farm trials and soybean growers in northeast Kansas tested the benefits of the product, according to the Kansas Ag Connection
“BIG BEAN was specifically built to mitigate stress and provide the biological support soybeans need to achieve their full production potential,” Western Region Agronomist with Planet Earth Agronomy Ben Sauder said. “We never know what Mother Nature is going to throw at us during the growing season.”

Planet Earth Agronomy developed BIG BEAN and designed it to help support plant growth and reduce the impact of environmental stress. According to Planet Earth Agronomy, it enhances soybean yield by improving pod set, leaf area and protein production
“Growers today are focused on maximizing the return from every acre,” Field Agronomist at Ag Partner Cooperation Peter Thomas said. “Products that help preserve yield and improve crop performance deserve consideration because standing still doesn’t move profitability forward.”
