81. 1998 Drought Information - Soybean With temperatures routinely running above 95° combined with the lackof rainfall, yield potential for the soybean crop is being lost. http://www.okstate.edu/OSU_Ag/oces/timely/soybean.htm

Effects of Drought on Soybeans Ron Sholar and Kent Keim OSU Department of Plant and Soil Sciences T HE CURRENT drought is having a profoundly negative effect on Oklahoma row crops. While no crop is escaping the grip of this weather, irrigation where available is a benefit. However, even with irrigation, the extremely high temperatures are limiting crop yield potential. Relationships among temperature, water, and soybean development are complex. The ideal temperature for soybean growth and development is around 86° F. Day temperatures above 95° F, coupled with low humidity, have been shown to reduce seed set and potential seed vigor. Drought symptoms appear early as leaf wilting and reduced growth. Nodule formation, development and nitrogen fixation are reduced when soil temperatures rise above 90° F. In general, soybeans can tolerate short periods of high temperatures if supplied with adequate moisture but the crop cannot tolerate high temperatures indefinitely. With temperatures routinely running above 95° combined with the lack of rainfall, yield potential for the soybean crop is being lost. The greatest concern for growers is whether soybeans still have a chance to make a crop or if serious consideration should be given to cutting the soybeans for hay. The ability of the soybean crop to tolerate these drought conditions depends on:

Variety Trials Crops Home Page MSUcares Home Page Crops: Soybeans Weekly Crop Update May 21, 2004 - Recent rains deposited any where from 1.5 to 9 inches. The largest amounts occurred primarily in southern Mississippi and Delta areas. Considering the amount of rainfall all in all this crop has faired quite well. Rainfall has delayed weed control across a large portion of the state. Many fields were about to have their first post emergence spray applied. So, it is these fields that have grown up more than desired. Weed control will be the main field activity this next week. Fields that are late being sprayed may need to have herbicide rates increased have possible tank mix partners. The weed spectrum and size should be considered prior to making rate decisions. Herbicide activity will be above average given current growing conditions. Fields should be checked for other problems pests. Treatable populations of thrips, bean leaf beetles, and grass hoppers have been found. An insecticide tank mixed with herbicide can possibly save a trip later in the season. As a whole this crop looks above average. Based on in field observations this crop is two to three weeks ahead of last year.

Office of Agricultural Communications News Home Page Mississippi Crop Report Early planting gave soybeans strong start By Laura Whelan MISSISSIPPI STATE Mississippi's soybean crop is off to a strong start, with 73 percent of the crop planted by mid-May compared to the five-year average of 58 percent. "Soybean planting is far ahead of schedule, which is wonderful news," said Alan Blaine, soybean specialist with Mississippi State University Extension Service. "Early planting of soybeans has become the norm in Mississippi. In fact, we're leading the nation in early planting percentage." The last two weeks offered some weather challenges for farmers. The northern half of the state was inundated with 8 to 13 inches of rainfall, and Blaine estimated that farmers in this area may need to replant about 5 percent of their crop. In contrast, in the southern half of the state, south of Highway 82, some very dry areas desperately need rain.

031023 Low Soybean Crop Will Affect Meat Prices October 11, 2003 Chicago - Soybean futures in Chicago skyrocketed in a wild day of trading Friday after the U.S. Department of Agriculture predicted that annual soybean production will be at its lowest level since 1996. Agriculture officials said the drought had caused more damage to soybeans than they had believed a month ago, before harvesting went into full swing. Experts said consumer prices for soybean oil can be expected to rise minimally. Longer term, the higher soybean meal prices could boost meat and poultry prices a year or two from now, said Al Kluis, an analyst with NorthStar Commodities of St. Paul. Drought in Minnesota, where soybeans are the state's leading crop, led to the estimated 23% drop in the state's expected soybean production from 2002. A severe infestation of aphids also hammered soybeans. Meanwhile, the USDA said corn production and yield are expected to hit an all-time high across the nation. That news sent corn futures downward by 5 1/2 cents to $2.16 1/4 a bushel the lowest price in two months. However, the government said corn production in Minnesota is predicted to drop 9.6% from 2002 levels.

Area News Home Marketplace Community ... Return to Archived Stories Paynesville Press - Oct. 23,2002 Muddy farm fields hindering harvest By Bonnie Jo Hanson Area farmers may have a record corn and soybean crop this year, if they can get it out of their fields. Rain and snow, along with lower than normal temperatures, have made it difficult if not impossible to get harvesting equipment into area fields. Some farmers have braved muddy fields, only to harvest high moisture crops, especially soybeans. "It's the darndest thing I've seen in a long time," said Pat Buermann, a dairy farmer north of town. Everywhere he goes he sees combines stuck in the mud. Last week he watched while one of his neighbors combined a field in a zigzag pattern. "It looked like he was cutting a maze," Buermann said. "This guy was going all over the place trying to miss the wet spots." As of Oct. 15, the Minnesota Department of Agriculture reported that approximately 48 percent of the state's soybeans have been harvested, compared to 75 percent at the same time last year and 85 percent for the five-year average. An estimated 17 percent of the corn crop has been harvested statewide, compared to 12 percent last year and 20 percent for the five-year average. These numbers indicate that the soybean harvest is already late. While the corn harvest isn't late yet, it may be because farmers still need to harvest their soybeans, too.

"After the droughts of the past few years, disease seems to be on the increase," said Dr. Ken Whitam, a plant pathologist with the LSU AgCenter. Whitam said two diseases have cropped up in soybeans. One, aerial blight, has shown up across the state while the second, Cercospora leaf blight – also called purple seed stain –is present in more-humid areas in South Louisiana. Despite the potential for disease problems, LSU AgCenter soybean specialist David Lanclos said the state’s farmers are looking at "overall, a fair-to-good crop" with moderate disease and insect pressures. "From a production standpoint, soybeans across the state are in pretty good shape," Lanclos said. "We have insect pressures, and in the last two weeks we’ve seen some disease problems. For the most part it’s under control."

TECH SPACE Soybeans Back From Space Station food glorious food Huntsville - Nov 04, 2002 Space Shuttle returns first soybeans grown on Space Station in commercial farming experiment Like farmers across the nation bringing in their crops this season, researchers in Wisconsin are carefully taking stock of a very special harvest - one grown aboard the International Space Station. They've measured and weighed plants, counted seeds, and collected additional physical information from the first-ever soybean crop grown aboard the orbiting research laboratory. Now, the research team will begin several months of chemical and biological tests on the plants that will reveal whether microgravity - the low-gravity environment inside the Space Station has changed the chemical make-up of the seeds. Soybeans a leading source of protein in the human diet are used in a wide variety of products, from oil to crayons. Finding improved varieties could have a significant economic impact on a soybean business worth billions of dollars each year. "We want to examine the seeds produced by plants grown on the Station to see if they have any unique, desirable traits," said Dr. Tom Corbin, a research scientist for Pioneer Hi-Bred International Inc., a DuPont subsidiary with headquarters in Des Moines, Iowa, and the industrial sponsor for the experiment. "If we find changes, then we want to know if the positive traits can be inherited genetically by future generations of plants for the benefit of farmers and consumers."

Michigan State University Extension Soybeans and Field Beans List of visuals associated with this text. Fertilizer Recommendations for Field Crops in Michigan Extension Bulletin E-550A, March 1992 D. R. Christenson, D. D. Warncke, M. L. Vitosh, L. W. Jacobs and J. G. Dahl, Department of Crop and Soil Sciences Both types of beans are very sensitive to fertilizer applied in contact with the seed. Apply row fertilizer 2 inches to the side and 2 inches below the seed. For dry beans, up to 40 lb of nitrogen, all of the phosphorus, and 60 lb potash may be included in the starter fertilizer. Before planting, broadcast and incorporate any additional fertilizer if needed. For soybeans grown on soils testing below 40 pounds per acre for phosphorus, apply all of the phosphorus and up to 60 lb of potash in the banded fertilizer. On soils testing higher in phosphorus, equal success can be obtained with broadcast fertilizer, except where manganese is required. When this nutrient is needed, the most efficient method of application is with the starter fertilizer. Soybeans that are well inoculated with Rhizobium bacteria prior to seeding or grown in soil containing a sufficient population of Rhizobia have rarely shown any yield response to nitrogen fertilizer. When these bacteria supply adequate nitrogen for the soybean crop, nitrogen fertilization is not recommended. Be sure to inoculate the soybean seed if a well nodulated soybean crop has not been grown in that field in the past three years.

Soybean Crop Management Virgil Schmitt , crop specialist PROBLEM: A producer and dealer were concerned about the stand in a 40 acre soybean field. If replanting would be necessary, the producer wanted to "get on it" before substantial yield losses would be incurred. Iowa State University (ISU) Extension was contacted for that opinion. RESPONSE: The ISU Extension crops specialist examined the field in several locations and found over 100,000 plants per acre in each location. While the plants were struggling due to being planted when the field was a little too wet, they appeared to be basically healthy. ISU research suggests that very little yield loss occurs until stands are below 75,000 plants per acre. Thus, it was recommended to leave the field alone. IMPACT: Forty acres of soybeans were not destroyed and replanted. The costs avoided per acre were: Cost of destroying the existing stand. The existing stand was to be destroyed with a tandem disk. According to Fm-1698, the average cost is $7.75 per acre. Cost of seed. According to Fm-1712, the cost of seed is approximately $25.20 per acre.
