Soybeans need nitrogen to produce protein<\/h1>\n[\/vc_column_text]
<\/div>[vc_column_text]Through the process of nitrogen fixation, soybean plants draw most of the nitrogen they need from the atmosphere. This is different from other crops, which require nitrogen fertilizers to be applied for them to use it.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section css=”.vc_custom_1656436615630{margin-bottom: 80px !important;padding-top: 60px !important;padding-bottom: 60px !important;background-image: url(https:\/\/mosoy.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/dots.png?id=141) !important;background-position: 0 0 !important;background-repeat: repeat !important;}” wpex_bg_size=”150px”][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text el_class=”brownhead”]\n

Nitrogen is important to plant growth<\/strong><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text]
<\/div>[vc_column_text]This nutrient plays a role in key functions and development in soybeans. Nitrogen is a building block for plant life. Soybean plants need it to make protein and amino acids.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”5\/12″ offset=”vc_col-sm-offset-1″][vc_row_inner el_class=”iconboxrow”][vc_column_inner]

Photosynthesis<\/h2>

Nitrogen plays an important part in plant growth as it is a component of chlorophyll, which takes in light through photosynthesis and converts it to energy.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text el_class=”brownhead”]\n

Prevalent in the atmosphere, but mostly unusable<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text]
<\/div>[vc_column_text]Even though it\u2019s all around in the atmosphere, most plants are unable to draw the nitrogen they need from the atmosphere. Soybeans are able to fix most of their own nitrogen.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”video-row relative”][vc_column]

Symbiotic nitrogen fixation<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text]
<\/div>[vc_column_text]Microorganisms that live in very small nodules on the soybean\u2019s roots fix nitrogen to make it usable for the soybean plant.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text color=”palette-109″]\n

Working together<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text]
<\/div>[vc_column_text]These microorganisms get the food they need from the root of the plant while converting atmospheric nitrogen into something the soybean plant can use.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text color=”palette-109″]\n

Back into the soil<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text]
<\/div>[vc_column_text]Not only do soybeans fix the nitrogen they need but they add nitrogen into soil.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text el_class=”brownhead”]\n

Nitrogen fixing provides for soybeans and future crops<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text]
<\/div>[vc_column_text]As part of a crop rotation where farmers rotate which crops they plant each year, soybeans help farmers prepare soil and use fewer resources for the next season\u2019s crop.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”5\/12″ offset=”vc_col-sm-offset-1″][vc_row_inner el_class=”iconboxrow”][vc_column_inner]

Provides nitrogen for future crops<\/h2>

While crops like corn take nitrogen out of the soil, soybeans add it back in. Rotating corn and soybeans provide corn with additional nitrogen.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner el_class=”iconboxrow”][vc_column_inner]

Fewer crop inputs<\/h2>

Not only do soybeans not require nitrogen fertilizer, but because soybeans add nitrogen into the soil, next year\u2019s crop will need fewer inputs to keep the crop healthy.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_section full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1656436576780{margin-bottom: 80px !important;padding-top: 40px !important;background-image: url(https:\/\/mosoy.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/dots.png?id=141) !important;background-position: 0 0 !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;}” wpex_bg_position=”top left” el_class=”dotsupdown”][vc_row content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1654882902817{padding-top: 80px !important;padding-bottom: 40px !important;}”][vc_column width=”5\/12″][vc_column_text el_class=”brownhead”]\n
