Soybean cyst nematode (SCN) and soybean aphid (SBA) are important soybean pests in the north-central region. Soybean varieties with host plant resistance for SCN (PI88788) and SBA (Rag1) can suppress pest populations and subsequently protect yield. In addition, seed treatments are becoming widely adopted and now can include a nematacide, fungicides and insecticide. Combining host plant resistance with seed treatments could potentially further...

New insights into how phosphorus leaches into groundwater can reduce its potential impact on water quality and its impact on the environment. Phosphorus poses an environmental threat when it travels from soils to open bodies of water, including lakes, streams and rivers. Click... |

February 12, 2016 Hundred-bushel soybeans are more than just in the realm of possibility today. Quite a few producers have done so officially and unofficially. We know it takes good soils, good weather, high-end management and attention to every little detail. I know it’s hard to think 100 bushels when you are hoping just to get in the 70-bushel range consistently and make a profit, but here are some suggestions to consider if you decide to try. Of... |

February 11, 2016 After being the long-neglected “step-child” feeding on the leftovers from the corn crop, soybeans are beginning to gain respect as a primary crop on many farms. I think the opportunities to boost soybean yields may be even greater than for corn. But we have to learn to pay attention to the details first before investing in all the new products available. What is your “model” for soybean yield? In the 1970’s, I worked on the development... |
