It started with a single brown leaf on a soybean plant, but before long Mike Brocksmith had an entire patch of brown in one of his soybean fields. Sudden death syndrome has struck soybean crops across Knox County and throughout the region, cutting yields as much as 20 percent in some fields. "It's sure a wake-up call when your beans start dying in August," Brocksmith, 42, said Friday as he walked about his fields, pointing out stricken plants that could leave him with thousands of dollars in damages. The syndrome is nearly impossible to prevent and harder to kill.

23. Feed Grain, Soybean Crops Off To Mixed Start 6/30/03 Feed Grain, soybean crops Off to Mixed Start. MANHATTAN, Kan. Plus, soybean cropconditions are 15 points over yearago levels and 17 points above average. http://www.oznet.ksu.edu/news/sty/2003/mixed_start063003.htm

Skip the navigation header body Released: June 30, 2003 Feed Grain, Soybean Crops Off to Mixed Start MANHATTAN, Kan. – The U.S. feed grains and soybean sectors are developing some interesting contrasts, according to Bill Tierney, Kansas State University agricultural economist. Corn development is lagging 2 percentage points behind average. Even so, the crop’s condition is 12 points above last year’s and 6 points over the long-term average. Combined with the current weather outlook, that’s putting corn yield forecasts in the 144.1-bushel-per-acre range, said Tierney, who is the crops marketing analyst for K-State Research and Extension. Soybean planting got off to an early start this year, so also are flowering ahead of schedule. Plus, soybean crop conditions are 15 points over year-ago levels and 17 points above average. "This year’s final soybean yields could be about a bushel above ‘trend,’ which for 2003 is 39.5 bushels an acre," Tierney said. Sorghum planting was slightly late. Even so, the crop is heading out early in Texas (the nation’s No. 2 producer behind No. 1 Kansas), and its condition index is 32 points above last year’s. At the same time, however, sorghum conditions are 14 points under the crop’s long-term average. Plus, late planting can reduce yields. "On the basis of late planting alone, final yields could be about one-half bushel below the simple ‘trend’ of 66.5 bushels an acre," the economist said. "That possibility is being overshadowed now, however, by severe drought conditions in Texas and spotty crop conditions in Kansas and Nebraska."

26. Maine DEP, In Our Backyard: Maine Soybean Crops Are Helping To Improve Our Air Q Go Back. Maine soybean crops are helping to improve our air quality! 5/30/03. Biofuelfrom Aroostook County soybean crops has finally reached the market. http://www.state.me.us/dep/iob/iob_195.htm

State Agencies Web Policies My Maine.gov Email this page In Our Back Yard weekly thoughts from Maine DEP Go Back Maine Soybean crops are helping to improve our air quality! Biofuel from Aroostook County soybean crops has finally reached the market. Used by potato farmers as a rotation crop, soybeans are pressed to make animal feed from the meal. A byproduct of that process - the oil - is now being processed and sold as biofuel. This 100% American grown, natural, plant based alternative to heating oil and diesel fuel pays large dividends to the environment. It is a cleaner burning, renewable and biodegradable substance that takes a bite out of air pollution. Using biofuel instead of a petroleum product greatly reduces unburned hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, particulate matter and other nasty emissions. The fuel can be used in home furnaces or even in diesel vehicles with no major modifications to equipment. Compared to the commonly used petroleum lubricants we use in our chainsaws, weed whackers, outboard motors and off-road ATV or motorcycles, bio-lubricants present a great way to clear the air of unwanted air pollutants.

33. Seed Quality Information Minnesota and the Dakotas produce soybean crops that are historically lowerin protein than soybean crops produced in states to our south and east. http://www.soybeans.umn.edu/crop/seed_quality/

Results of the protein and oil test can be viewed below. The quality of a soybean crop is determined by both the environment where the soybeans are grown and the genetic makeup of the varieties produced. Unfortunately, northern and western areas of the Corn Belt produce lower protein soybeans than areas to the south and east. Furthermore, as more acres of soybeans are produced in Northwestern Minnesota and North Dakota, the average protein levels of soybeans produced in these states will decline. Although we have little control over our environment, we do have control over the varieties that we choose to grow. There are large and significant differences in protein levels produced by individual varieties. If one were to divide all of the available soybean varieties for a region into two groups by protein level, the higher protein group would have protein levels that would be 1 to 2 percentage points higher (on average) than the low group. Because there is little relationship between yield and protein in Minnesota, the higher protein group would have a similar yield potential to the low protein group. Winners and losers lists can be found below.

34. Climate Indices For The Economy: Crop Moisture Stress Index The Moisture Stress Index for corn and soybean crops is a measure of the effectsof drought and catastrophic wetness on national crop yield and is calculated http://lwf.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/research/cie/cmsi.html

NCDC Climate Monitoring Climate Indices / CMSI / Search Help Crop Moisture Stress Index View Data Index Overview Crop Moisture Stress Index Imagery Corn Moisture Stress Index Soybean Moisture Stress Index Index Overview The Moisture Stress Index for corn and soybean crops is a measure of the effects of drought and catastrophic wetness on national crop yield and is calculated through the use of a drought index (the Palmer Z Index) and annual average crop productivity values within each U.S. climate division. Moisture stress, either a lack or an abundance of soil moisture during critical phases of the crop growth and development cycle, affects US average crop yield, particularly when moisture stress occurs in the most highly productive crop growing areas. Soil moisture conditions in July and August were found to be the best indicators of average crop yield for corn and soybeans, and as such, are used in creating the Moisture Stress Index. Calculations of the Moisture Stress Index are based on (1) the extent of severe to catastrophic drought or catastrophic wetness within the crop growing regions, i.e., those climate divisions with a Z Index value = +5, and (2) the average annual crop productivity* of each climate division within the crop growing region. Figure 1 is an example of short-term soil moisture conditions as measured by the monthly Palmer Z Index, while figures 2 and 3 show the 10-year average crop productivity values within the crop and soybean growing regions respectively.

"The soybean aphid is a native of China and hasn't been reported from the United States until now." The soybean crop has become an increasingly important part of Wisconsin's diverse agricultural economy. Growers in the state harvested 1 million acres of soybeans for the first time in 1997. Experts predict this year's harvest will exceed 1.4 million acres. Aphids on the back of a soybean leaf.

Soybean crop yields could increase by 13 percent by 2050, boosting annual production of the 150 million acres of soybean fields in the United States, said Andrew Leakey, lead author of the report, told the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Seattle. His presentation, which is summarized on the Nature Science Update Web site, said scientists simulated 2,050 weather conditions on experimental fields near the university by increasing levels of ozone and carbon dioxide, two atmospheric gases believed to be rising based on climate-change models for global warming. While ozone cut plant growth by 20 percent, larger amounts of the nutrient carbon dioxide boosted soybean yields, Leakey said.

LOUIS, Missouri, May 4, 2001 (ENS) - Reliance on the Monsanto herbicide Roundup to kill weeds in fields of genetically engineered Roundup Ready soybeans has led to increased herbicide use because the weeds have become herbicide resistant, according to a new study. Dr. Charles Benbrook of the Northwest Science and Environmental Policy Center in Sandpoint, Idaho, says that contrary to the promises of Monsanto that growing its genetically engineered variety of Roundup Ready soybeans would put fewer pesticides into the environment than conventional varieties, farmers are applying more herbicides to Roundup Ready soybean plants to combat weeds.

Crop Profile for Soybean in Minnesota Prepared: December, 2003 General Production Information Overview Insects and mites rarely threaten soybean production in Minnesota. This is the result of the introduction of clean soybeans from Korea and China without insect pests. Most insect pests of soybean have adapted to the crop from other native plants. As a result, most insect problems are infrequent and localized; examples of infestations occurring over the past 15 years in Minnesota have included two-spotted spider mite (1988), grasshopper (1989-90), thistle caterpillar (1992), and white grub (1998-2000). A pest of significant concern is the soybean aphid. Native to Asia, the soybean aphid has spread across North America over the past 4-5 years. No soybean production area is immune to insect outbreaks and as acreage expands into northern Minnesota, additional insect problems could develop. Diseases among Minnesota soybeans and underestimation of disease-incurred yield reduction are significant among the crop. Diseases are second to weeds as the most common yield-limiting or yield-reducing pest in soybean. They are characterized as seedling damping off/root rots, stem diseases, foliar diseases, virus diseases, and nematodes. Fungicides are most commonly used as seed treatments for seed-borne diseases and damping-off fungi; although foliar fungicides are labeled for several foliar soybean diseases, they are cost-prohibitive in many situations. Large numbers of nematodes exist in all soil types, but relatively few are economically important on soybeans. Nematode damage can be both direct and indirect in soybeans. Nematode damage can be significant and difficult to accurately diagnosis without proper sample collection and identification, including both soil and root samples.
