Abstract
The ESPS (Early Soybean Production System) is being adopted in the midsouthern USA to avoid some of the effects of normal late‐season drought. Field studies with soybean [ Glycine max (L.) Merr.] grown following rice ( Oryza sativa L.) were conducted in 1994, 1995, and 1996 at Stoneville, MS, on Sharkey clay (very‐fine, smectitic, thermic Chromic Epiaquert) to compare yield of Maturity Group (MG) IV and V cultivars grown under furrow vs. flood irrigation, and yield and economic performance of nonirrigated (NI) and furrow‐ and flood‐irrigated MG IV and V cultivars. Three‐year average yields from irrigated MG IV and V cultivars were significantly greater than average NI yield. Within each year, yields from MG V cultivars equaled or exceeded those from MG IV cultivars in all environments. Furrow‐irrigated MG IV cultivars yielded significantly more than NI cultivars in all 3 yr, while flood‐irrigated MG IV cultivars yielded more than NI cultivars in 2 of the 3 yr. Both furrow‐ and flood‐irrigated MG V cultivars yielded significantly more than NI cultivars in 2 of the 3 yr. Three‐year average net returns from furrow‐ and flood‐irrigated environments were similar, and both were greater than those from the NI. Within each year, average net return from MG V cultivars in all environments was equal to or greater than that from MG IV cultivars. These results indicate that the ESPS can be used to effectively grow soybean in a rice–soybean rotation on clay soil, and that irrigation will usually result in greater profit from soybean.
