Production Estimates and Crop Assessment Division Foreign Agricultural Service January 11, 2005 BRAZIL: Soybean Crop Progress Update Planting operations for the 2004/05 soybean crop were completed in a timely fashion in late December, ensuring that the crop was sown within the normal planting window. As reported by numerous official sources in October, despite falling international soybean prices and rising production costs Brazilian farmers intended to expand soybean area in virtually every state. Brazilian government forecast agencies now report that double-digit growth is expected in most Center-West states, while the traditional southern states will register more modest increases. Nationally, soybean area is forecast to increase 6-7 percent in 2004/05, whereas in 2003/04 it grew 16 percent. Asian soybean rust has been widely reported across Brazil. However, Brazilian government agencies and private agricultural consultants indicate that preventative fungicide applications have been successful so far in limiting crop damage and yield losses. Last years heavy rains in February contributed to the ineffectiveness of the rust spraying campaign in important producing states such as Mato Grosso and Goias, leading to severe crop losses. Most observers indicate that ample supplies of fungicide are available this year and farmers are better prepared to battle the disease. USDA estimates 2004/05 Brazilian soybean production at a record 64.5 million tons, up 23 percent from last year’s drought and rust-afflicted crop. Harvested area is estimated at a record 23.0 million hectares, up 1.5 million or 7 percent from last year. Yields are forecast at a near-record 2.8 tons per hectare, but slightly below the 25-year trend.

Production Estimates and Crop Assessment Division Foreign Agricultural Service March 10, 2005 Brazil : 2004/05 Crop Situation Update Soybean and Corn Estimates Fall in Response to Drought The USDA currently estimates Brazil's s oybean production in 2004/05 at a record 59.0 million tons, down 4.0 million from last month owing to worsening drought conditions in southern producing states. Soybean area is estimated at a record 23.0 million hectares, up 1.5 million or 7 percent from last year. Yield is forecast at a below-average level of 2.57 tons per hectare. Total corn production is estimated at 39.5 million tons, with area forecast at 12.2 million hectares. Corn yield is currently forecast slightly above average at 3.23 tons per hectare. Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) analysts traveled through important agricultural regions in Brazil during January and February, encompassing the states of Mato Grosso, Goias, Parana, and Rio Grande do Sul. These 4 states collectively account for 75 percent of national soybean production, 45 percent summer corn, 65 percent rice, and 62 percent of the cotton crop. Northern Sector Southern Sector Major summer crops of soybean, corn, and rice were in mixed condition depending upon which state they were located in. In Parana the bulk of the state’s crops were in superb condition in early February, with strong yield potential as they entered the final seed production and maturation growth phases. Rainfall had been plentiful and well distributed this season, except in the far southern and southwestern growing areas, and soil moisture reserves were substantial throughout the majority of the state. Officials in the states agricultural agency DERAL and most major farm Cooperative’s reported that soybean and summer corn crops were expected to reach bumper proportions this season.

83. Disaster Recovery Leaflet DROUGHT soybean CROP MANAGEMENT. Most of the soybean acreage in South Carolina is now planted and some of the earlier soybeans are beginning to enter http://virtual.clemson.edu/groups/psapublishing/disaster/drought/Drout19.htm

Field Crops DROUGHT SOYBEAN CROP MANAGEMENT 1) Late-season weeds can further rob yields and profits. There are several postemergence herbicides that can provide good control, if the weeds and crop are not significantly stressed (e.g., Pinnacle for 8- to 10-inch pigweed). If farmers are using Roundup Ready varieties, the addition of First Rate to Roundup Ultra will assist with morningglory control. Refer to the 2000 Pest Management Handbook for control recommendations, crop and weed growth stages for application, and efficacy ratings for soybean herbicides. 2) Insects can be more difficult to control under drought conditions. This is due to the reduced occurrence of beneficial insects and diseases of destructive insects. Begin scouting each soybean field at first bloom and repeat every five to seven days. Economic thresholds for every destructive insect are listed in the Clemson Pest Management Handbook. Remember, after first bloom the crop can tolerate a 15 to 20 percent foliage loss without losing yield potential. For pod feeders, the thresholds are two large corn earworms or one stinkbug per row foot in wide rows. When scouting drilled soybeans, use sweep nets and count the average number of insects per 10 sweeps in 4 different spots in each field. The threshold for stinkbug is 2, while for corn earworm, it's 4 per 10 sweeps. 3) Nematodes, nutrient deficiencies, and other problems can be masked by drought. Farmers are urged to walk their fields and look for problem spots that don't appear to have a weather-related cause, and obtain soil, tissue, or whole plant samples from both "good" and "bad" spots and have agents send the samples to either the Plant Problem Clinic or to the appropriate lab at Clemson for analysis.

84. Soybeans In South Carolina, the soybean is called the “miracle crop” for many reasons. Farmers in South Carolina consider soybeans an excellent rotational crop. http://www.scda.state.sc.us/virtualtour/soybeans/soybeans.htm

Contact Us! Soybeans Also, the soybean is referred to the miracle crop for its many uses. Soybeans are an ingredient in everything from crayons to diesel fuel and from wood adhesives to carpet backing. South Carolina farmers really became interested in soybean production in 1950 when they planted 100,000 acres. At that time, the crop yielded 12 bushels to the acre. The popularity of the crop continued to increase until 1982 when farmers planted over 1.8 million acres of soybeans. They became more efficient at soybean production and yields increased in succeeding years. Today, the acreage of the crop in South Carolina has increased to 420,000 harvested acres in 2003 with a yield of 25 bushels per acre. Soybeans is now considered to be one of the top 10 cash crops in the state. In 1975, South Carolina farmers formed the South Carolina Soybean Association to serve as a voice for soybean farmers in the state and in Washington. That association is still serving its members under the name of the South Carolina Corn and Soybean Association today. The association is affiliated with the American Soybean Association and the National Corn Growers Association. Through the years, farmers in the area also realized that the soybean crop had a huge market potential. For this reason, they enacted the soybean marketing order in 1978. An assessment was to be paid by the soybean farmers at the grain elevator. Funds from the assessment would then be used for research, promotion, and education relative to the crop.

86. Relay Cropping Wheat And Soybeans, AGF-106-01 Early wheat harvest removes competition with the soybean crop sooner and leads to Harvest of the relay crop soybeans will usually be the last harvested http://ohioline.osu.edu/agf-fact/0106.html

Ohio State University Extension Fact Sheet Horticulture and Crop Science 2001 Fyffe Court, Columbus, OH 43210-1096 Relay Cropping Wheat and Soybeans AGF-106-01 Dr. Jim Beuerlein Extension Agronomist Winter wheat is harvested in late June through mid-July in Ohio. With the first killing frost occurring in mid-October most years, there is often time to produce a second crop following wheat harvest. Producing a second crop allows for the increased use of machinery, labor, and land during the year and a lowering of fixed cost on a per-acre basis, resulting in a more profitable farming operation. There are two forms of multiple cropping: double cropping and relay cropping. With double cropping the second crop is planted following harvest of the first. Relay cropping consists of interseeding the second crop into the first crop well before it is harvested. Both systems are employed in Ohio, with double cropping being the preferred system south of I-70 and relay cropping to the north. The relay technique enables the production of a second crop in areas where time for a second crop following wheat harvest is inadequate. Requirements There are two primary requirements for profitable multiple cropping: 1) There must be adequate time for the production of a second crop.2) There must be adequate water to produce two crops, whether from stored soil moisture, rainfall, or irrigation.

Browning on potato leaves shows evidence of exposure to high concentrations of ozone. (Photograph courtesy UDA-ARS Air Quality Program, North Carolina State University; photo by Gerald Holmes) Severely affected plants do show symptoms of ozone stress. Leaves may have tiny light-tan irregular spots less than 1mm in diameter (flecking), small darkly pigmented areas approximately 2-4 mm diameter (stippling), bronzing, and reddening. An increasing number of reports have appeared during the past 25 years regarding ozone-induced injury to plant leaves in many countries. (Krupa et al. 2001) Although research shows that ozone pollution harms forests and that prolonged exposure has serious consequences, the precise extent of ozone damage to mature forests has proven a difficult issue to resolve. Natural ecosystems are highly variable and complex, and laboratory studies can never fully simulate them. Variability extends to individual plant species, subspecies, and varieties; some react to ozone more strongly than others. The Ozone We Breathe Introduction References Related Articles Highways of a Global Traveler: Tracking Tropospheric Ozone Ozone in the Stratosphere Related Data Ozone Some species of crop plants react more strongly to high concentrations of ozone than others. This graph from a study by the Environmental Protection Agency shows the reduction in yield of crops exposed to ozone. At an ozone concentration of 60 parts per billion, soybeans yields decrease to about 75 percent of normal, while wheat, corn, and alfalafa yields decrease to about 90 percent of normal.

Nebraska Cooperative Extension NF05-633 Soybean Rust: How Great is the Threat for Nebraska? By Loren J. Giesler, Extension Plant Pathologist Previous Category Catalog Order Info Soybean rust is a serious foliar disease that has caused significant crop losses in other parts of the world. It was first detected in the United States in November 2004 and has since been identified in several southeastern states. The fact that wind-borne spores principally spread soybean rust suggests it will be a seasonal problem in Nebraska. Soybean rust, also referred to as Asian soybean rust, is caused by Phakopsora pachyrhizi . It is an aggressive pathogen that, in the past 10 years, has spread from Asia to Africa, South America, and now the United States. Yield losses can be severe with as much as 10-80 percent losses reported. Since its arrival in 2001, Brazilian soybean producers have suffered significant yield losses. Soybean rust cost Brazilian farmers $600 million in fungicide applications in 2002-03 and possibly more than $1 billion in 2003-04. USDA estimates U.S. losses could range from $640 million to $1.3 billion in the first year and $240 million to $2 billion in subsequent years, depending on the severity and extent of spread. The big question is: How will soybean rust impact Nebraska soybean production?

Elmore, Extension Crops Specialist James E. Specht, Professor of Agronomy and Horticulture Previous Category Catalog Order Info Soybean Plant Growth and Development ... References Soybean acreage in Nebraska has increased from 43,000 acres of irrigated production in 1972 to 2.55 million acres of irrigated production in 2003. About 45 percent of Nebraska's total soybean acreage is irrigated. The interest in soybean is due to favorable economic returns, varieties with better yield potential, the value of soybean in rotation with other crops such as corn, and changes in U.S. farm legislation. Soybean Plant Growth and Development Soybean plant development can be separated into two phases - vegetative and reproductive. The vegetative stage begins with seed germination and seedling emergence. The reproductive stage begins with the appearance of the first flower on the plant. Vegetative development is typically monitored by counting the number of main stem nodes. The node where the two cotyledons are attached is counted as node 0, whereas the node where the two unifoliolate leaflets are attached is counted as node 1. All other nodes above the unifoliolate leaflets bear trifoliolate leaflets and are counted in sequence as 2, 3, etc. Reproductive development is a bit more complicated and details are provided in Table I. Knowing these soybean stages is important when using the stage-of-growth method of scheduling irrigations.

North Dakota State University NDSU Extension Service Symptoms and Controls of Crop Diseases (cont.) Dry Edible Beans Soybeans NON-CEREALS Dry Edible Beans Stem and Leaf Diseases – Fungal RUST, Uromyces appendiculatus var. appendiculatus Symptoms. Rusty-colored pustules erupt through the surface of the leaf. Rusty-colored summer spores can be brushed off the surface of the pustules. Pustules may also form on the pods. When rust is severe, leaves turn yellow, dry out, and drop prematurely. Late in the season the summer spores are replaced with dark-colored winter spores. Survival and Spread. Control. Bury infected bean residue by deep plowing. Avoid planting next to fields that had severe rust last year. Use a three- or four-year crop rotation. Monitor fields for rust. Use maneb or chlorothalonil fungicide when rust first appears. Early detection of rust and early application of fungicide is essential to rust management. Remarks. Some varieties have shown resistance to the common races of rust, but races have changed recently (1996). Many rust races are present in North Dakota, and the dominant races may change from time to time, adversely affecting the resistance of certain varieties. Continued monitoring for rust is essential.
