Soybeans are one of the largest commodities in the US, which makes farming them a lucrative career choice in the ag industry. But soybean farming doesn’t come without its own challenges. Tariffs on Chinese trade have destabilized the soybean markets, pigweed infestations are spreading at an alarming rate across the US, and recent flooding in parts of the Midwest have spelled disaster for many farmers. In order to responsibly handle these external challenges, many farmers look to innovate their daily practices to increase their yield while reducing costs. The majority of soybean farmers nowadays opt to use an air-seeder for planting...

So far he has seen success with soybeans into wheat, but he’s also working on corn intercropped with a legume... He’s now saving around $200 an acre on input costs, while increasing revenue through high-yielding soybeans — Mauck currently holds the state record for soybean yield per acre... This leaves a 41-inch space for the soybeans... Wheat residue helps suppress weeds as the intercropped soybeans continue to grow. Wheat also allows Jason Mauck to plant his soybeans a month earlier than his mono-cropped soybeans...

Experts all agree that there is no silver bullet to control weeds in the organic cultivation of soybeans... Soybean vs WeedsWeed control is the main problem in organic agriculture including in soybeans. It is more difficult to control weeds in soybeans because of their compact foliage, which takes longer than grain crops to produce an interlocking canopy that shades inter-row area... For example, common lambsquarters (Chenopodium album), sunflower (Helianthus annuus), and yellow nutsedge (Cyperus esculentus) can reduce the germination of soybeans by 40-90%. Weeds not only compete with soybeans for space, light, and nutrients, but they can also transmit diseases and pests, and cause problems during harvesting...

The weed control measures used in soybean production need to be overhauled. The development of resistance in weeds has made current technology and management increasingly expensive and comes accompanied with heavy yield losses. Precision management solutions can reduce chemical use in several ways. Current Weed Management in SoybeansSoybean is important for the global economy as it is used as a source for oil and protein (for people and livestock) and as biodiesel... Automated Steered Mechanical MethodsMechanical methods can also be used to manage weeds in soybeans...

An Overview of SoybeansSoybeans originated in East Asia in China and where featured in the human diet as far back as 5000 BC. Later, in the 19th century, soybeans spread to other parts of the world. The agrotechnical value of soybeans is very high because they leave the soil clean and enriched with nutrients, especially nitrogen... For soybeans, the most damaging pest to be aware of is soybean cyst nematode. A Closer Look at SCNThe pest Heterodera glycines (soybean cyst nematode) is a threat to all regions of the world where soybeans are grown...

In the US, soybeans are the second largest produced crop after corn... Depending on the industry and consumer requirements, soybeans range from high oil to high protein types and those with non-shattering pods... Soymilk is made by grinding soaked raw soybeans with water and boiling them to remove anti-nutritional factors... It is a solid cake-like soy product made by fermentation of partially cooked soybeans using the fungi Rhizopus oligosporus. The fungus is allowed to completely overrun such that the soybeans are held together by the fungal mesh in the form of a cake...

Usually, Harpin Protein acted as a plant health promoter activates a plant’s immune system, which triggers growth and defence genes. When harpin protein contacts with plants’ receptors on their seeds, roots, and leaves, it will trigger an early warning system — “Systemic Acquired Resistance,” leading to increased plant yields and health. Target Crops: Economic crops such as cannabis, tobacco, Asparagus, avocado, mango, grape, citrus, blueberry, kiwi, apple, grape, plum, cherry, blueberry, avocado, nectarine etc. Mechanism of Harpin ProteinIt works by stimulating the plant to grow under the general effects of stress and one of those stresses is fungal attack. Harpin itself does not directly affect the pathogens, nor does it enter the plant, rather it binds to receptors on the plant leaf and thereby triggers physiological processes within the plant...

Damages of nematodesNematodes attack plant roots, stems and leaves. They are a major group of crop pathogens and cause worldwide losses estimated at about US$120 billion every year. They inhabit the soil and damage the roots of plants, weakening their ability to absorb water and nutrients. The symptoms of these damages include stunting, yellowing of plant leaves, and loss of plant vigour. Nematodes rarely killing plants directly, But they will affect plant growth and yields greatly...
