Weed Control for Early Planted Soybeans
Dr. Hager's research found the most reliable weed control program for early planted soybeans involves a full rate of PRE plus POST herbicide application, while reducing PRE rates often leads to variable weed control. Delaying PRE herbicide application increases the risk of weed emergence before treatment, highlighting the importance of integrating both PRE and POST applications to minimize weed competition with soybeans and reduce seed return to the soil seedbank.
Combating Soybean Cyst Nematode With Advancements In Genomic and Breeding Technologies
Learn about the evolving threat of soybean cyst nematode (SCN) and how researchers are tracking genetic changes in worm populations in response to soybean hosts. Dr. Matthew Hudson and Dr. Andrew Scaboo discuss SCN genome insights and innovative strategies using native genes against resistant SCN variants, such as those in PI 88788 and Peking.
What Can ISA Funded Research Do for You?
This Soybean Summit session led by Jennifer Jones, CCA, shares recent findings from ISA checkoff-funded research across the state. Learn how farmers can shape the direction of future research studies on conservation, agronomy, and pest management.
Cover Crop Planting Dates in Soybean & Corn Rotations: Lessons Learned from Year One of ISA-Funded Study
This Illinois Soybean Association funded project, lead by Nathan Johanning of Illinois Extension, reveals insights from the first year of a cover crop planting date study. The team found that lower seeding rates of early-planted cereal rye cut seed costs and had similar biomass. Late planting still offered good growth into mid-Nov and maximizing biomass by delaying termination until maturity showed no yield reduction in soybeans in most cases.
High Speed Planting for Soybeans
There are advantages and challenges to high speed planting in soybean and corn rotations. Dr. Mike Mulvaney explains more in this Science for Success video.
Early Soybean Planting – Benefits and Risks
There are some yield advantages to planting early as well as some risks. Where does this yield advantage come from and how can we best manage the risks of planting early? Dr. Shawn Conley, University of Wisconsin-Madison answers these questions for you.
Combating Soybean Cyst Nematode With Advancements In Genomic and Breeding Technologies
Participate in an ILSoyAdvisor webinar on March 14th, discovering the advancements in genomic and breeding technologies to tackle the evolving soybean cyst nematode resistance challenges such as those found in PI 88788 and Peking.
