None of the soybeans made it into the food supply, so there is no risk to the public, said Food and Drug Administration Deputy Commissioner Lester Crawford. FDA will issue the destruction order to Prodigene Inc. on Wednesday. "Prodigene is working out the terms of a program to enhance our compliance and to ensure the safest and most responsible manufacturing processes," the College Station, Texas-based company said in a statement late Tuesday. "As with any new industry and new regulatory program, we can always do better. ... We intend to, now and in the future." The soybeans were estimated to be worth several million dollars.

1. Soybeans - back to product page next product The soybean is economically the most important oil crop in the world. The projection for the harvest in 1999/2000 is about 157 million tons. The FAO reported a worldwide production of 158.3 million tons for 1998. 15 million tons of the worldwide production of soybeans is processed in European oil mills each year. Who Benefits from the Herbicide-Tolerant Soybean? Principal Uses of the soybean The Roundup-Ready® soybean The Liberty-tolerant soybean 1.2. Who Benefits from the Herbicide-Tolerant Soybean? Instead of applying herbicide prior to sowing the seed – which is the case with conventional soybeans – the farmer sprays the herbicide only after a few weeks, when competition posed by weeds for soy sprouts becomes a problem. Post-germination application of herbicide can be labour-saving and weeds can be utilized as a protection against soil erosion. Using a herbicide-tolerant soybean the farmer needs only one herbicide – and a relatively favorable one ecologically. By contrast, farmers have used as many as five different herbicides to protect conventional soybean crops against weeds. In 1997, roughly 70% of farmers of Roundup-Ready® soybeans used Roundup to fight weed growth only once, while 29% used it twice and only 1% three times or more.

We are studying genetic diversity because soybean germplasm in the U.S. has a very narrow base. We are using genetic markers to evaluate how much diversity is present in U.S. and exotic germplasm. We are also exploring whether markers can provide information for predicting which crosses should be made in breeding programs. Genetic mapping of resistance to soybean cyst nematodes.

In cooperation with Dr. Richard Bernard, retired ARS soybean breeder, and Dr. Cecil Nickell, retired UI soybean breeder, we developed 21 cultivars and germplams resistant to SCN. In a project with other nematologists from the Midwest and Canada, we are finishing a four-year tillage, row spacing, and rotation experiment funded by the North Central Soybean Research Program. Some preliminary results from this work indicate that SCN numbers are not affected by row spacing. No-till crop production may increase organic matter and subsequently reduce numbers of SCN. In SCN infested fields, yield is favored by planting in narrow and medium width rows when compared to wide rows.

Ohio State University Extension Fact Sheet Horticulture and Crop Science 2001 Fyffe Court, Columbus, OH 43210-1096 Double-Cropping Soybeans Following Wheat AGF-103-01 Dr. Jim Beuerlein Professor Ohio farmers have an opportunity to increase their productivity by double-cropping on one million acres of wheat each year. The 10 to 12 weeks of growing season that remain after wheat harvest are enough to grow a second crop of soybeans. Although yield potential for double-crop soybeans is reduced by late planting, the value of the combined soybean and wheat crop makes this practice economically competitive with full-season corn and soybean crops. Careful management is required for production of a profitable second crop. The soybean planting date is critical in determining productivity of the system. At the time of wheat harvest, the potential yield of soybeans is decreasing by at least one bushel per acre for each day that planting is delayed. Thus, every effort must be made to get the wheat harvested and the soybeans seeded as early as possible. Selecting an early-maturing wheat variety can allow for harvest five to seven days before the late varieties are ready. Wheat can be harvested when grain moisture is 18 to 20 percent with no loss of quality and will permit soybean planting to be advanced from three to five days. Planting the wheat immediately after the fly-safe date often hastens its development, leading to a slightly earlier harvest. If planting cannot be completed by July 10, double-cropping should not be attempted.
