Improving Soybean Protein Quality Through Genetic and Environmental Characterization
Evaluate genetic variation and environmental effects on amino acid composition in soybean breeding lines to identify stable, high-protein genotypes that meet the nutritional demands [...]
Evaluating the Impact of Cover Crops on Lesion Nematodes in Soybeans
Assess how cover crops influence lesion nematode populations and their impact on soybean yield through field and greenhouse studies, while identifying and evaluating the [...]
Bioherbicides to Control Palmer Amaranth and Waterhemp in Soybeans
Develop and test bioherbicides that specifically target palmer amaranth (pigweed) and waterhemp without harming soybeans, while creating a commercialization roadmap to provide farmers with [...]
Which Preemergence Herbicides Are More Likely To Cause Crop Injury When Soybeans Are Planted Early?
Planting soybeans early often means cold, wet soil conditions that can delay seed germination and prolong plant emergence. These conditions can reduce the plant’s [...]
Enhancing the Profitability of Wheat-Soybean Double Cropping
Double cropping soybeans after winter wheat is an attractive approach to enhancing profitability in Midwest crop rotations and improving soil health. This project is [...]
Evaluating Leaf Nutrient Tissue Testing and Relation to Soybean 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 [...]
