Soybean Rust

Since 2001, the soybean checkoff has been investing in research to manage Asian soybean rust. This research has already led to the identification of two genes linked to rust resistance. With the help of gene mapping and marker-assisted selection, these genes will make it to market much faster. The soybean checkoff also funds sentinel plots that serve as an early warning system and publishes guides and brochures to help you identify and manage rust, should it hit your fields.

Choosing The Right Soybeans - Select Quality & Yield

Soybean protein and oil content are important considerations when choosing varieties for your farm. Your customers buy meal and oil, so varieties with higher protein and oil content are in greater demand.  These varieties keep demand and prices for your soybeans high. So, when you choose varieties, compare the agronomics, then choose the varieties that deliver the highest protein and oil content. Click the link below for more.

CystXalt

The most commonly observed symptoms associated with SCN are reduced yield and patches of stunted, yellowing plants. CystX provides broad-based protection for roots against SCN damage.

 

CystX Benefits

  • Provides broad-based genetic resistance to all known U.S. races of SCN
  • Reduces cyst populations in fields
  • Provides easier farm management of SCN
  • Helps preserve plant health allowing plants to reach their full genetic potential

SCN infestation magnifies other plant stresses such as Sudden Death Syndrome, drought, and iron deficiency chlorosis. Due to the severity of SDS in this Illinois location, the CystX variety yielded 30% more than the non-CystX version of the same variety in 32 side-by-side strip replications.
