"BE YOUR OWN SOYBEAN DOCTOR” PUBLICATION HELPS IDENTIFY DISORDERS

May 1, 2007 – Norcross, Georgia, U.S.A. – A new publication from the International Plant Nutri­tion Institute (IPNI) titled Be Your Own Soybean Doctor offers soybean growers and their advisers and consultants a new tool. The 8-page booklet features over 40 color illustrations showing typical symptoms of nutrient deficiencies, toxicities, diseases, insect damage, and other disorders in soybean production, with brief descriptive text. It was produced by IPNI scientific staff and cooperators.

While Be Your Own Soybean Doctor does not substitute for diagnostic tools such as plant tissue analysis and soil testing, this publication can help distinguish and identify various field prob­lems. The 8½ x 11-in. guide is patterned after the classic publication Be Your Own Corn Doctor and the more recent Be Your Own Cotton Doctor, both widely used in the field.

Be Your Own Soybean Doctor is available for US$0.50 (50 cents) per copy, plus shipping. Discounts available on quantity orders.
