December 9, 2002
If you blinked, you missed the post-harvest recovery in corn prices. The average cash price of corn in Central Illinois reached a late harvest low of $2.30 on November 11, rebounded to $2.40 on November 19, and then declined to $2.275 on December 5. The average central Illinois basis weakened in late November as the carry disappeared from the futures market. The recent price action was not unexpected given the very strong basis during the harvest period and the struggling corn export market. On Friday of last week, the carry in the futures market for old croo corn increased and average central Illinois basis strengthened to $-.0-4 under March futures. Post-harvest price action in the soybean market has been more typical. The average central Illinois cash price bottomed in early October, rallied about $.65 into early November and then declined about $.15 into early December. The average central Illinois basis strengthened to $-.05 under January in early November and then weakened to about $-.10 in early December. The post-harvest recovery was driven more by an increase in futures prices than in the strengthening of the basis. The higher futures prices reflected a rapid pace of exports and concerns about the South American crop. The USDA will update the projections of U.S. and world supply and consumption on December 10. Large changes from the November projections for corn and soybeans are not expected. However, the pace of soybean exports is larger than that implied by the USDA's projection for the year. At 890 million bushels, 2002-03 marketing year exports are expected to be 16.3 percent smaller than exports of a year ago. Through December 5 (14 weeks into the marketing year) shipments were running only 6 percent behind the pace of a year ago. As of November 28, however, unshipped sales of soybeans totaled only 275 million bushels, 12 percent less than on the same date last year.

Scott H. Irwin, Joao Martines-Filho and Darrel L. Good Click Here Abstract The purpose of this research report is to evaluate the pricing performance of market advisory services for the 1995-2000 corn and soybean crops. Certain explicit assumptions are made to produce a consistent and comparable set of results across the different advisory programs. These assumptions are intended to accurately depict “real-world” marketing conditions. Several key assumptions are: i) with a few exceptions, the marketing window for a crop year runs from September before harvest through August after harvest, ii) cash prices and yields refer to a central Illinois farm, iii) storage is assumed to occur at on-farm or commercial sites, and iv) marketing loan recommendations made by advisory programs are followed wherever feasible. Based on these assumptions, the net price received by a subscriber to market advisory programs is calculated for the 1995-2000 corn and soybean crops.

If the aim is to reduce

shows potential. The moist savannas of West and Central Africa have high potential for crop and livestock production. The region may be the emerging breadbasket of sub-Saharan Africa.

S avanna soils are generally low in organic matter and nitrogen, therefore nitrogen deficiencies in maize are common. Genotypes with improved nitrogen-use efficiency can increase productivity of maize-based cropping systems when they are combined with improved soil fertility, crop rotation, organic manure, and inorganic fertilizers. IITA scientists had to develop low nitrogen-tolerant maize that performed at least as well or better than available varieties when grown under higher level of nitrogen. Selected families (34) from the low N-tolerant pool, grown with no nitrogen inputs, had a mean grain yield of 3.2 t/ha, compared with 2.4 t/ha for the commercial hybrid. As is common in sub-Saharan Africa, animal traction provides motive power in agriculture. In Kaduna, Nigeria, a farmer uses cattle in plowing to control weeds in his soybean field

45. Stem Canker: Kentucky Soybean IPM
This is a critical point to note because the infested crop residue may provideenough fungus to create a stem canker epidemic in subsequent soybean crops.
http://www.uky.edu/Agriculture/IPM/scoutinfo/soybean/disease/scanker/scanker.htm
Stem Canker
Symptoms
Symptoms of stem canker are usually first noticed during the latter half of the growing season. Reddish-brown stem lesions develop during the early reproductive stages of plants. Lesions will usually be in the vicinity of a stem node. A diagnostic symptom of stem canker is that green stem tissue will usually be present both above and below individual stem cankers. As the disease progresses, cankers will enlarge, longitudinally, turn dark brown to black in color, become slightly sunken and eventually completely girdle stems. At this point, the free flow of nutrients and water is disrupted in the plant. Cankers which coalesce may be confused with stem discoloration caused by Phytophthora . However, stem canker usually forms higher on the plant than does Phytophthora Severe stem canker can result in premature, and often sudden, plant death. Foliage of diseased plants initially exhibits interveinal yellowing. This is followed by tissue death between the veins. Eventually, leaves die and usually remain attached to stems.
Cause
Stem canker is caused by the fungus Diaporthe phaseolorum var.

Full report Overview The district economy continued to grow moderately last month. Manufacturing activity remained strong, retail sales increased, and energy activity improved further. Construction activity generally held steady. In the farm economy, the corn and soybean crops were in good condition, the cattle industry benefited from favorable prices and good pasture, and hog producers continued to expand. Labor markets remained tight in much of the district, with some limited evidence of wage pressures. Prices generally held steady at the retail level and for most manufacturing and construction materials. Retail Sales Retailers report sales increased last month and were higher than a year ago. Sales are expected to increase moderately in the coming months. Retailers are generally satisfied with current stocks but expect to expand inventories in the next several months in anticipation of the holiday season. Automobile dealers report sales edged up last month and were generally unchanged from a year ago. Sales of light trucks, sport utility vehicles, and imported passenger cars remained particularly strong. Some dealers report shortages of popular models, and most plan to expand stocks in the next several months to meet an expected increase in sales. Manufacturing Manufacturers continued to operate at moderately high levels of capacity last month. Manufacturing materials were generally available, with lead times unchanged. Manufacturers have been trimming their inventories slightly, and some say they plan further reductions in the coming months. A quarterly survey of district manufacturers indicated that production, shipments, and new orders all increased modestly in July, at a pace slightly slower than earlier in the year.

Soybean Diseases SOYBEAN DISEASES IN NORTH DAKOTA
By Berlin D. Nelson, Professor, Dept. Plant Pathology, NDSU Diseases can dramatically reduce yields and quality of soybeans, can increase production costs and have negative effects on marketing and cropping decisions. There are a number of diseases that occur in ND, but only a few that at present are widespread and important (Phytophthora, Fusarium and Rhizoctonia root rot and Sclerotinia stem rot). Some diseases are, however, threatening to enter the state, such as the soybean cyst nematode and sudden death syndrome, and may occur at any time. Information on biology and control of diseases will be found in the following list. To find information on a disease click on the names in the right hand menu. Disease Management and Identification Recognition of the problem is the first step in managing these diseases . These are general guidelines for managing soybean diseases.
Use high quality seed . Certified seed will minimize the introduction of soybean pathogens. Avoid using seed produced on fields with the soybean cyst nematode or other important diseases.

http://oilseed.narod.ru/2_SOYA.HTM
Soybean
Glycine max, or G.soja, also called Soja Bean, or Soya Bean, annual legume of the Fabaceae family and its edible seed, probably derived from a wild plant of East Asia. The soybean is economically the most important bean in the world, providing vegetable protein for millions of people and ingredients for hundreds of chemical products. The origins of the soybean plant are obscure, but many botanists believe it to have derived from Glycine ussuriensis, a legume native to central China. The soybean has been used in China for 5,000 years as a food and a component of medicines. Soybeans were introduced into the United States in 1804 and became particularly important in the mid-20th century. In the Ukraine the first soybean crops were made in years 1880. The soybean is an erect, branching plant ranging in height from several centimetres to more than 2m. The self-fertilizing flowers are white or a shade of purple. Seeds can be yellow, green, brown, black, or bicoloured. Commercial varieties have brown or tan seeds, with one to four seeds per pod. The soybean may be cultivated in most types of soil, but it thrives in warm, fertile, well-drained, sandy loam. The crop is planted after all danger of frost is past. Maturing during September and October, soybeans are usually harvested mechanically in the United States, after the leaves have fallen off the plant and the moisture content of the seed has dropped to 13%, permitting safe storage. The most nutritious and most easily digested food of the bean family, the soybean is one of the richest and cheapest sources of protein. It is a staple in the diet of people and animals in numerous parts of the world today. The seed contains 17% oil and 63% meal, 50% of which is protein. Because soybeans contain no starch, they are a good source of protein for diabetics. In East Asia the bean is extensively consumed in the forms of soybean milk, a whitish liquid suspension, and tofu, a curd somewhat resembling cottage cheese. Soybeans are also sprouted for use as a salad ingredient or as a vegetable and may be eaten roasted as a snack food. Soy sauce, a salty brown liquid, is produced from crushed soybeans and wheat that undergo yeast fermentation in salt water for six months to a year or more; it is a ubiquitous ingredient in Asian cooking.

By Laura Skillman
OWENSBORO, KY. (June 28, 2000) A study being conducted in fields in Daviess and Henderson counties is trying to help grain farmers determine when to start, how much to apply, and when to stop using their center pivot irrigation. "Basically, we started this project as a reaction to last year's drought," said Wayne Mattingly, Daviess County Extension Agent for Agriculture and Natural Resources. "What we saw were a lot of farmers using center pivots, but they were very haphazard about how they used it." When farmers were asked why they irrigated and how much they applied, few had any real answers.

UK Continues To Research Impact Of No-Till Wheat
The research has explored not only how this production affects the wheat yields, but also the yields of subsequent corn or soybean crops. By Laura Skillman HOPKINSVILLE, Ky. (Jan. 29, 2003) – When no-till wheat production first began in far western Kentucky about 20 years ago, University of Kentucky College of Agriculture scientists began studying the production method. After many years of work in small plots, today the research has moved to large-scale on-farm testing. The research has explored not only how this production affects the wheat yields, but also the yields of subsequent corn or soybean crops. The early research, conducted by Lloyd Murdock, UK Extension soils specialist, and James Herbek, UK Extension grains specialist, showed wheat had a statistical yield advantage when some form of tillage was used compared to no tillage in three out of eight years data. In the five other years there was no statistical difference. With soybeans six out of seven years there was no difference between no-till soybean yields following no-till wheat. However, in six years of data two-thirds of the time corn yields in a continuous no-till rotation of wheat, soybeans and corn, were statistically and agronomically significant, said John Grove, UK agronomist.

Wednesday, August 15, 2001 Download this page in PDF format Get Adobe Acrobat Reader by H. Sterling Burnett, Ph.D. and A. Wess Mitchell Many environmentalists, citing the adage "better safe than sorry," argue that the "precautionary principle" should govern policy making. By this, they mean that technology should not be used until or unless it can be shown to pose no threat to humans or the environment. The Politics of Biotechnology In one form or another, the precautionary principle has been incorporated into domestic European and American legislation and into more than 12 international treaties, beginning in 1987 with the Ministerial Declaration of the Second Conference on the Protection of the North Sea. Environmental activists have proposed using the principle to frame regulations for numerous sectors of the economy. Most recently, they have targeted genetic engineering and biotechnology aimed at producing hardier, disease- and pest-resistant crops. At a United Nation's Conference held to negotiate the terms of the Biosafety Protocol in Montreal in January 2000, environmentalists maintained that by altering crops researchers were "playing God" - tampering with things beyond human understanding with the potential to cause catastrophic changes to the environment. This view was reflected in a draft of the protocol which, contrary to various free trade agreements, would have allowed countries to prohibit the importation of genetically modified (GM) products even if they had not been shown to threaten harm. This provision was stripped from the final version, but few doubt that the precautionary principle will influence future negotiations.

LOUIS, Missouri, May 4, 2001 (ENS) - Reliance on the Monsanto herbicide Roundup to kill weeds in fields of genetically engineered Roundup Ready soybeans has led to increased herbicide use because the weeds have become herbicide resistant, according to a new study. Dr. Charles Benbrook of the Northwest Science and Environmental Policy Center in Sandpoint, Idaho, says that contrary to the promises of Monsanto that growing its genetically engineered variety of Roundup Ready soybeans would put fewer pesticides into the environment than conventional varieties, farmers are applying more herbicides to Roundup Ready soybean plants to combat weeds.

September 3, 1998, Thursday LONDON EDITION 1 Some Genes Able to 'Escape' Modified Crops Researchers at the University of Chicago have discovered an unexplained increase in promiscuity of certain transgenic plants, according to a letter in today's Nature, the international science journal. Genes are usually considered unlikely to cross to other closely related weed species if those weeds normally self-fertilise. Yet the US scientists found that a transgenic form of a normally self-fertilising wild mustard plant was much more likely to breed with other plants than expected.

    Cultivating Concepts - Junior Edition
    Greenhouse Vegetable Team Harrow has the largest greenhouse research complex in North America. There are more greenhouses in Essex County than anywhere else in Canada. Most greenhouses grow vegetables using hydroponics (without using soil). Scientists feed the plants nutrients to make them grow. Tomato, cucumber and pepper are the main crops grown in Ontario greenhouses. Scientists at Harrow study new ways to grow greenhouse vegetables, improve fruit quality, control the greenhouse environment, and protect crops from disease and pests. Soybean and Dry Bean Team Ontario produces more soybeans than anywhere else in Canada! Many of Ontario's soybeans are exported to Asian countries where they are made into soyfood products such as tofu, miso, soymilk and natto. There are two types of soybeans grown in Canada: those used for oils and those used for food. The oilseed soybean has a black spot on the seed.

    Sudden Death Syndrome
    The Root of Sudden Death Syndrome Twenty years ago, Sudden Death Syndrome (SDS) was unheard of in Indiana or any of the northern states. It wasn't until the 1980s that this yield-robbing disease took its strong presence in farmlands across the Midwest, and began taking acres of soybean crops down with it. With the devastating effects that SDS can cause to crops, research became crucial to identify the fungal strain that causes these crop catastrophes. One researcher who began investigating SDS is USDA plant pathologist T. Scott Abney With a team of researchers at Purdue University, Abney was involved in the very initial stages of the identification of Fusarium solani f.sp. glycines , the soil-borne fungus responsible for SDS. It is the bluish sporulation on the root of soybean plants that distinguishes SDS from other diseases such as brown stem rot, stem canker, or damage caused by the soybean cyst nematode. The organism produces toxins which get transmitted through the plant killing leaves (chlorosis and necrosis), reducing seed size and, in its most severe form, aborting flowers and pods. While the origin of the SDS fungus is unknown, the onset of symptoms is often brought on by an overabundance of moisture in the soil when soybeans are in the reproductive growth stage. This is one of the conditions that accentuated the SDS outbreak during the 1990s.
