Soybean Pod and Seed Rots
Warm and wet conditions at the end of the growing season prior to harvest can promote fungal pathogens capable of infecting soybean pods and seeds. Anything growers can do to reduce the amount of time mature soybeans remain in the field before harvest will help reduce the potential for seed quality issues.
Soybean Pod Splitting and Seed Sprouting
Prolonged wet conditions late in the season can cause substantial delays in soybean harvest. Such conditions can lead to yield losses due to pod splitting and seed germination in the pods.
Sudden Death Syndrome of Soybeans
Learn about environmental conditions leading to SDS development, symptoms and management strategies growers can use to limit its damage to the soybean crop.
Refocusing on Soybean Cyst Nematode Management
Soybean cyst nematode is a major yield-reducing pathogen of soybean production in North America. Several nematicide seed treatments with activity against SCN are currently available and can provide added protection when used with a SCN-resistant soybean variety. Read more.
Planting Date Effects on Soybean Growth and Yield in the Southern U.S.
With the Early Soybean Production System, soybean flowering and early grain fill occur in cooler parts of the summer when water use efficiency is higher, escaping detrimental effects of heat stress later in the summer. Read more.
Delayed Soybean Planting Considerations
Review management considerations that can help maximize soybean yield with late planting.
Soybean Planting Date & Varietal Maturity Interact to Determine Yield
Should soybean varietal maturity selections change based on soybean planting dates? Get results from 2-years of on-farm studies.
Red Crown Rot in Soybeans
Red crown rot is a fungal disease of soybeans that causes deterioration of the stem and roots and premature senescence and can result in significant reductions in yield, which can be reduced through later planting in infested fields, improved soil drainage, and management of root-feeding insects and nematodes.
Soil Sampling and Test Interpretation
Growers must efficiently manage field inputs while reducing the risk of yield losses to maximize profitability season after season. Fertilizers are significant variable costs in production, and tools are available to assess their need. This article describes best management practices for soil testing, report interpretation, and assessing fertilizer needs for crops in North America.
Distribution, Levels, and HG Types of SCN Populations in Missouri
Soybean cyst nematode (SCN) continues to spread throughout soybean-producing regions of the United States. In response a survey was conducted of grower-submitted soil samples from across Missouri to evaluate the distribution, levels, and HG types of SCN. Review results from this Pioneer Crop Management Research Awards (CMRA) Program trial.
