Recently, questions have been raised about potential yield reductions in soybeans due to chloride (Cl⁻) toxicity associated with spring applications of muriate of potash (MOP). While ongoing research at the University of Minnesota is examining the correlation between potassium (K) application timing and Cl⁻ toxicity, this latest research does not indicate significant reductions in yield that would warrant altering existing application timing recommendations here in Wisconsin.
