Can Following the MRTN Approach Reduce Tile Nitrate Loss in Conventional and Cover Cropping Systems?
This project aims to better understand how strategic nutrient management can impact soybean yield across northern and central Illinois. It will evaluate different nutrient strategies under no-till, strip-till, 15” rows, 30” rows, with cover crops, and without cover crops.
Are There Biological-Based Products That Can Promote Plant Growth While Also Protecting Against RCR When Soybeans Are Planted Later To Avoid Heavy Pathogen Incidence?
Known as the billion-dollar pest, soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is reported to annually cost North American soybean producers $1.5 billion in lost yield.
How Does Infection Timing and Soybean Cyst Nematode Impact Infestation of Red Crown Rot in Soybean Fields, and What Options Do I Have for Control?
Known as the billion-dollar pest, soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is reported to annually cost North American soybean producers $1.5 billion in lost yield.
How Do Environmental Factors Impact Glufosinate Efficacy Against Waterhemp, and How Can I Mitigate Those Challenges?
This multi-year project will identify soil health, water quality and climate footprint best practices and metrics across regions and cropping systems (soy and double-cropped wheat, soy rotated with corn).
What Tools Are Available To Help Detect and Monitor Red Crown Rot Across Illinois Soybean Fields?
Known as the billion-dollar pest, soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is reported to annually cost North American soybean producers $1.5 billion in lost yield.
Which Stem Diseases and Insects Should I Be Concerned About in My Soybean Fields?
Continuing work already underway across Illinois’ soybean fields, this project aims to identify new and emerging stem diseases and insect pests that negatively impact soybean production and yield.
Which Cover Crops Can Help Suppress Populations of SCN?
This project is using five established cover crop fields throughout Illinois to determine how different types of cover crops affect soybean cyst nematode (SCN) populations.
Which Preemergence Herbicides Are More Likely To Cause Crop Injury When Soybeans Are Planted Early?
While interest in planting soybeans earlier continues to increase, concerns around preemergence (PRE) herbicide injury to emerging seedlings continue to linger.
What Are Some New SOYLEIC™ Varieties That Are High Yielding and Allow Me To Take Advantage of This Value-Added Market Opportunity?
To help Illinois soybean farmers capitalize on market opportunities for high oleic, low linolenic (HOLL) soybean oil, this project continues the breeding efforts to select and license varieties that combine competitive yields with the value-added SOYLEIC™ trait.
An Economic Evaluation of the Impacts of Site-Specific Management for Increasing Soybean Production in Southern Illinois
To help close the soybean yield gap between average and record yields, this project will break down management practices based on the specific needs of different areas within a field
and then
