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."

There has already been a 40 percent increase in deforestation due to soybeans and experts warn that further increases threaten the Amazon ecological system. Some government officials in Brazil are calling for a three-fold increase in the area planted with soybeans, which would be taken out of the jungle. Environmental groups are strongly criticizing this increase in deforestation. The Age September 18, 2003

The biotechnology company that produced the gene-altered corn, ProdiGene Inc., is being investigated by the U.S. government for failing to completely remove the corn crop from fields. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) ordered the company to burn the contaminated soybean crops and suggested that fines may be forthcoming. The law allows a fine of twice the value of the damaged crops, or up to $500,000 for each violation. Environmentalists have voiced concern for some time that genetically altered crops could have health implications, but with this recent case the food industry, which generally promotes crops altered to grow faster and be disease resistant, is joining in, demanding stronger controls over producing medicines with food crops. The above-mentioned corn is a type of crop referred to as a biopharm, or pharm crop, one that is not meant for consumption but rather as a way to produce ingredients for drugs.

Asian Soybean Rust Invades U.S. Crops, Aerial Could Be the Fix By Lindsay Barber, NAAA Manager of Communications Article appeared in March/April 2005 Issue of Agricultural Aviation This past year, Asian soybean rust blew into the United States via one of the several hurricanes late in the year. Officials believe spores of the disease may have been carried here from South America. As of December 1, 2004, soybean rust has appeared in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, South Carolina and Tennessee. Background Asian soybean rust was first found in Japan in 1902. It has also been found in several other countries including, Asia, Australia, Africa, China, Korea and it was discovered in South America in 2000. Experts predict the disease will be more devastating in the southern portion of the U.S. because general weather conditions allow it to survive over the winter months. According to the American Soybean Association (ASA), as soybean plants mature and set pods, infection may progress rapidly under favorable environmental conditions to cause high rates of infection in the middle and upper leaves of the plant. Soybean rust thrives on moisture, high humidity and moderate temperatures. Clouds of spores may be observed within and above canopies of highly infected fields. Fields with high infection rates may begin to look yellow or brown.

The Importance of Aerial Application in Combating Asian Soybean Rust Background This past year, Asian soybean rust blew into the United States via one of the several hurricanes late in the year. Officials believe spores of the disease may have been carried here from South America. As of December 1, 2004, soybean rust has appeared in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, South Carolina and Tennessee. According to the American Soybean Association (ASA), as soybean plants mature and set pods, infection may progress rapidly under certain environmental conditions (such as moisture, high humidity and moderate temperatures) and cause high rates of infection in the middle and upper leaves of the plant. Clouds of spores may be observed within and above canopies of highly infected fields. Fields with high infection rates may begin to look yellow or brown. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) soybean rust is a fungus, which is spread primarily by windborne spores capable of being transported over long distances. If there are winds, or someone is simply walking through a rust-infested field, spores will be released and carried through the air. Although the disease is devastating to soybean crops, there is no threat to the food supply. Soybean rust is the type of disease that needs to be caught within the first few days to avoid a reduction in soybean crops. The rust can reduce soybean yields by as much as 80% in an individual field.

While heavy clay soils can lead to planting and emergence problems, once established, soybeans perform reasonably well. Soybean performance can be poor on sandy soils prone to drought stress. Temperature is a main limiting factor - soybean is a heat-loving crop.

Backscatter differences across this field were substantial ( Fig.2 Chart ) and these differences were used to classify the soybean field into two zones ( Fig.3 Classification ). The soils map of this field indicates that the zones visible in the radar imagery are likely related to differences in soil drainage, and these drainage patterns result in variability in the emergence of the soybean crop ( Fig.4 Soils ). Zones of lower backscatter correspond to finer textured soils on very gently sloping land. In these zones, soil drainage is poor relative to other areas of the field. Crop emergence and crop growth is these regions are delayed as a result of the reduced soil drainage and cooler soil temperatures. Fig.3 Classification (9 Kb)

Government estimates verified Friday what Illinois farmers already knew: This summer's drought will mean much smaller corn and soybean crops this fall. The U.S. Agriculture Department's first estimates of the 2005 harvest for the state's two main cash crops project farmers will produce at least 25 percent less than last year, when a perfect combination of plentiful rain and moderate temperatures brought record bounty. The effects of a drought that stretches from Texas to the Great Lakes will mean smaller crops nationwide, the USDA said. Based on conditions Aug. 1, total corn production was expected to fall 12 percent to 10.3 billion bushels, while the soybean harvest was expected to be about 2.79 billion bushels, 11 percent less than a year ago, the report said.

University of Missouri-Columbia Vol. 10, No. 22 Article 3 of 8 September 13, 2000 Late-season soybean diseases by Laura Sweets Reports of various late-season diseases on soybean are still coming in from throughout the state. Sudden death syndrome has been widespread and severe in central and northern Missouri. Septoria brown spot and frogeye leaf spot have been causing yellowing or browning of leaves and premature leaf drop in fields throughout central and into northern Missouri. Cercospora kikuchii and Colletotrichum species have been causing leaf spot, yellowing and shoot dieback in fields in northeastern Missouri. Charcoal rot is evident in fields that suffered moisture stress earlier in the season or in areas suffering from drought conditions this fall. Yield losses from these various late-season diseases will vary depending on when symptoms began to occur, number of plants infected, severity of disease in infected plants and weather conditions from now to harvest. In some cases although yellowing of the upper nodes may be quite widespread and spectacular in a field, damage is limited to the uppermost leaves and pods so yield loss should be minimal. In other cases, especially with sudden death syndrome, the entire plant may have been killed prematurely. If large areas of a field are thus affected, yield losses will be greater. Several of these soybean diseases have been covered in earlier issues of the Integrated Pest and Crop Management newsletter. However, because of the high volume of questions about late-season soybean diseases, brief descriptions of all the diseases mentioned above are given in this article. Although it is too late in the season to do much to control these diseases this year, management strategies to prevent or minimize these diseases next season are also given below.

University of Missouri-Columbia Vol. 14, No. 17 Article 3 of 5 August 27, 2004 Unusual year for soybean diseases By Laura Sweets This has been an unusual year for soybean diseases. After a relatively disease-free early season, a number of different foliage diseases and lateseason soybean diseases are appearing throughout much of the state. Sudden death syndrome (SDS) is quite widespread this year with symptoms showing up a month earlier than usual in some fields. Septoria brown spot has been present through much of the season. It is still evident in the lower canopy in many fields but has also moved to the upper canopy in some fields. Cercospora kikuchii and Colletotrichum spp. have been causing leaf spot, yellowing and shoot dieback. Finally, Sclerotinia white mold was found at low levels in one field in northeast Missouri. Yield losses from these various lateseason diseases will vary depending on when symptoms began to occur, number of plants infected, severity of disease in infected plants and weather conditions from now to harvest. In some cases, although yellowing of the upper nodes may be quite widespread and spectacular in a field, damage is limited to the uppermost leaves and pods, so yield loss should be minimal. In other cases, especially with sudden death syndrome, the entire plant may have been killed prematurely. If large areas of a field are thus affected, yield losses will be greater.

DentalPlans.com Dental Health Articles Environment Environment Concerns Asian Stink Bugs Pose Threat to Fruit and Soybean Crops Homeowners in Northwest asked to look for Asian stink bugs, invasive pest that is threat to fruit and soybean crops Wanted, dead or alive: the brown-marmorated stink bug. "We are asking homeowners in the Pacific Northwest to be on the lookout for these bugs, and if they think they have found any, to collect them and send to me or to take a digital image to e-mail to me," says E. Richard Hoebeke, a Cornell University senior extension associate in entomology. This invasive pest (Pentatomidae: Halyomorpha halys) also known as the East Asian stink bug or yellow-brown stink bug has been infesting urban areas in four mid-Atlantic states. It poses a threat to apples, pears, peaches, figs, mulberries, citrus, persimmon and soy beans. Hoebeke first identified the brown-marmorated stink bug in the United States in Allentown, Pa., in 2001. He surmises that the insect had hitchhiked in cargo containers from Asia. Since then the brown-marmorated stink bug has been identified in parts of New Jersey, Maryland and Delaware. "We just got word, however, that a specimen was recently found in a bark beetle trap near Portland, Ore.," says Hoebeke, a taxonomist and assistant curator of the Cornell University Insect Collection, one of the world's largest insect repositories. "This has us very concerned

Other Resources Introduction Diagnosis Diagnosis of cyst-nematode problems on soybean can be accomplished by several means. Generally, a soil sample must be processed in order to positively identify the nematode problem. If you suspect a nematode problem, take systematic ( stratified Pathology and Life Cycle After the nematodes have established a feeding site, the cyst juveniles molt three times in developing toward adulthood in soybean roots. The female becomes lemon-shaped and males migrate from the root to fertilize the female. The body of the female breaks through the root system and she is fertilized by the male. Eggs are produced by the cyst female and some are deposited in an egg mass outside the body of the female. These eggs, as well as eggs inside the female, will develop into second-stage juveniles which will hatch and re-infect the soybean plant. Females will generally mature (start producing eggs) in 21 to 28 days. After 30-40 days, yellow cysts become brown as the female dies and becomes detached from the root system. The dead female body is the cyst stage which may contain 25 to 200 eggs. Many of these eggs in the cyst will remain dormant until the following spring.
