Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: Conventional methods of soil chemical characterization are usually inadequate to characterize complex nutrient interactions. Soybean was grown in a maize, wheat, soybean rotation in 1.1 ha areas which were subdivided into 360 3 by 10 m plots containing 4 rows at 0.75 m spacing. Soils were sampled and extracted with ion exchange resins and the extracts were assayed with ICP determination methods. Seed yield was different between variety and soil mapping unit. Seed yield was adversely correlated with extractable V content and the correlation was improved when data were regressed as a function of the V/(V+P) molar ratio. Differences in seed yield response to the ratio were observed. Vanadium is a potent inhibitor of plasma lemma ATPase (necessary for mineral nutrient accumulation by plants) but it is rarely surveyed in soils. Soil mapping units within the experimental site differed in both their resin extractable P and V contents.
