Cool Bean: Soybeans don’t like drought
Well this was written mostly by James Specht, but I did need to double-check his 'Nowledge' … tee hee! – Shawn P. Conley At this point we have likely figured out which soybean seeds have either germinated and emerged, are dry and viable upon the next rainfall event, or are dead. Given the continued drought conditions let’s work through a few real-world scenarios and questions that we’ve heard the past week regarding soybean and drought.
Nursing home sued for wrongful death
Dispatchist News from around the globe in real time Client login Nursing home sued for wrongful death The estate of a former resident at Careage Hills Rehabilitation Center in Cherokee is suing the nursing home for wrongful death because he was allegedly not strapped into a bath chair as recommended by the equipment’s manufacturer.
Soybean Germination/Emergence with April Planting Dates Relative to Coincident Air and Soil Temperatures in April and May
By James Specht, Jenny Rees, Roger Elmore, Nathan Mueller, and Keith Glewen In a CropWatch article about three weeks ago, we showed two graphs of soil temperatures recorded at 15-minute intervals in each of two research plots at the Eastern Nebraska Research and Extension Center (ENREC) near Mead. The two plots included a no-till corn-residue plot into which soybean was to be planted this spring and a no-till soybean-residue plot into which corn was to be planted this spring.
Plant earlier for better yield, study suggests
The United States is a major soybean-producing country that supplies 34 percent of global annual soybean production. Most U.S. soybean-producing regions are rain-fed and thus are highly vulnerable to extreme weather events. Drought and elevated air temperatures, now more increasingly frequent due to climate change, are important constraints in crop production across major agricultural areas globally.
Nebraska Soybeans: When Does Seed Treatment Pay?
Nebraska Soybeans: When Does Seed Treatment Pay? Posted on November 13, 2018 By James Specht, Loren Giesler, Robert Wright, and Randy Pryor, University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension Specialists Farmer Question: I want to book soybean seed this fall for 1000 acres of soybeans. I have always ordered seed treated with fungicide and insecticide but at $20 per unit, does soybean seed treatment pay? I have been following the UNL recommendation of planting soybeans early.
Nebraska: Dicamba’s Effect on Soybean Node Numbers
The forensic analysis described here and in a previous CropWatch article assumes the 3.7-day soybean node accrual upon V1 continues despite effects from off-target dicamba exposure. To test this we compared the same soybean variety in an Xtend and non-Xtend version with off-target dicamba damage occurring to the non-Xtend variety.
The Soybean Flowering - Summer Solstice Fallacy
By Shawn P. Conley, Lindsay Chamberlain and James Specht Source: University of Wisconsin, Madison Every agronomist has been ingrained with the knowledge that soybean is considered a “short-day” plant and will not flower until after June 21st a.k.a. the summer solstice.
