Species of Pythiums, Phytophthora sojae, and Phomopsis can all cause seed rots and/or seedling diseases when soils are cool and wet. http://www.agprofessional.com/resource-centers/soybean/news/USDA-releases-2012-chemical-usage-data-for-soybeans-wheat-207912571.html The U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) published the 2012 Agricultural Chemical Use Survey data for soybeans and wheat. http://www.agprofessional.com/resource-centers/soybean/news/Assessing-soybean-stands-under-cool-conditions--207422531.html Soil temperatures are cool enough to delay soybean emergence for as much as two weeks. Warmer temperatures now forecast for the end of the week will help to alleviate this. http://www.agprofessional.com/resource-centers/soybean/news/Tips-for-controlling-slugs-in-no-till-soybean-corn-fields-206960081.html Crop growers should take extra precautions to scout their fields this spring for slugs to try to get control of these plant feeders before they attack corn and soybean plants and cause feeding injury, an Ohio State University Extension entomologist said. http://www.agprofessional.com/resource-centers/soybean/news/Prices-for-corn-and-soybeans-five-years-from-now-206908131.html Although challenges to planting the 2013 crop may provide some degree of support to corn and soybean prices, they have quickly faded from the 2012 highs and are threatening to diminish further from the highs that began in 2007. http://www.agprofessional.com/resource-centers/soybean/news/FMC-launches-Authority-Elite-herbicide-206636181.html FMC Agricultural Products announced the addition of Authority Elite herbicide to the Authority line of herbicides for soybean growers. http://www.agprofessional.com/resource-centers/soybean/news/X-ray-analysis-could-boost-legumes-reduce-fertilizer-pollution-206465671.html An international team of scientists aims to lessen the reliance on fertilizers by helping beans and similar plants boost their nitrogen production, even in areas with traditionally poor soil quality. http://www.agprofessional.com/resource-centers/soybean/news/Calculator-helps-with-soybean-seeding-rate-decisions-206464741.html With the wide range of which soybean plant populations produce similar yields, soybean seeding rates have not historically been as closely calculated as those for corn. But soybean seed costs have risen to the point at which farmers don’t want to plant more seeds than they need for top yields.
