Due to the popularity of double‐crop production systems in the southern United States, particularly soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] following wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), wheat‐residue management practices are critical to the successful establishment of double‐cropped soybean. The objective of this study was to ascertain the effects of N application to wheat on no‐tillage soybean growth and production in a double‐crop system. This study was conducted over two cropping seasons at two locations on silt‐loam Alfisols in eastern Arkansas. Wheat grain yield and subsequent residue mass generally increased as total applied N increased. Soybean plant population, height, and growth‐stage rating approximately 30 days after planting were generally unaffected by total applied N to wheat or wheat‐residue level. These results indicate that there is no negative impact to soybean planted without prior tillage into a wide range of wheat‐residue levels and demonstrates that technological advancements with field implements have been able to overcome the concern of planting into high‐residue situations.
