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 disease and insect pests that negatively impact [...]
Which Cover Crops Can Help Suppress Populations of Scn?
This project is using 13 established cover crop fields throughout Illinois to determine how different types of cover crops affect SCN populations. Insights will [...]
When Is the Best Time During the Soybean Growth Stages To Conduct Tissue Testing To Understand Nutrient Needs for Maximum Grain Yield?
Because soybeans can remobilize nutrients from lower to newly developing nodes, more information is needed to understand which nutrients and in what quantities are [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Which Soybean Varieties Have Higher Protein and Oil Content so I Can Capitalize on Premium Pricing?
Variety trials are planted across the state’s major soil types and maturity zones. By using the SCIO CNST NIR technology on the combine, researchers [...]
How Can I Become More Confident in Identifying Conservation Practices That Will Positively Impact Crop Productivity and Related Environmental Factors on My Farm?
