Glycine max (Soybean)
Life Embryophyta (plants) Angiospermae (flowering plants) ; Eudicotyledons; Fabales ; Family: Fabaceae ; Subfamily: Papilionoideae Domesticated in northeastern China from the wild Glycine soja , the earliest evidence of cultivation dating to 3000 years ago. The cultigen species Glycine max, known as Soybean, was domesticated in northeastern China from the wild Glycine soja , the earliest evidence of cultivation dating back to 1000 BC. In the third century BC, Soybean and Millet were regarded as the most important food crops in northeastern China. Soybean remains an important source of high protein to people in the Far East and Southeast Asia. From the 1700's, European visitors to the Far East started bringing back Soybean seed to Europe and introducing it to the colonies. Soybean started being grown in the USA from 1765 onwards but it was only in World War II with butter shortages and the need for substitutes that the soybean crops really took off and by 1973, the USA was producing three-quarters of the world crop. Maize farmers found that rotating maize with soybeans reduced the need for nitrogen fertilizers because, being legumes, Soybean have Rhizobium bacteria in their roots that convert gaseous nitrogen to nitrogenous compounds.

THE LABEL May 1999 Vol. 11, No. 5
U.S. Growers Increase Plantings of Biotech Crops
U.S. growers seem undeterred by the rising tide of opposition to biotech foods in Europe. In 1998, about 25% of the U.S. corn crop and 38% of the soybean crops were genetically engineered either to kill insect pest by expressing the toxin Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), or to resist direct application by a particular company's brand herbicide, according to the Biotechnology Industry Organization. This season, U.S. growers are expected to plant even more acres in genetically engineered varieties of corn, soybeans, cotton and potatoes than last year, according to industry analysts. This year, between 33% and 40% of the corn crop is expected to be genetically engineered according to Kevin Aandahl, spokesperson for the National Corn Growers Association. "Only about 6.7% of that will be European Union-unapproved hybrids," he noted. Corn growers are being advised that unapproved hybrids must be kept for domestic uses. "I think USDA has predicted that about 50% of the soybean crop could be genetically engineered this year, which is definitely an increase," said Karen Marshall, spokesperson for St. Louis-based Monsanto. Monsanto's Roundup Ready soybean, which is resistant to direct application of the company's Roundup herbicide, is the only major commercial genetically modified soybean on the market, she added. "I haven't seen any major changes in people buying Roundup Ready soybeans." (PTCN, Vol. 27, No. 28)

    Evaluation of cover crops for impact on Soybean Cyst Nematode and the Agronomic Impact of Cover Crops.
    Principal Investigator:
    Alan Sundermeier, Henry County Extension Agent
    Abstract:
    This research project consisted of two parts - greenhouse screenings, and field demonstrations of cover crops, to determine their effect on SCN levels and to gather agronomic characteristics of each cover crop. Cover crops were evaluated for non-hosting of SCN, quick growth and ability to produce maximum biomass, soil nitrate contribution, winterkill, and cost.
    Materials/Methods:
    Greenhouse screenings were conducted on selected cover crops to evaluate their affect on SCN.The greenhouse screenings were conducted at OSU greenhouses at Columbus . Seed for each cover crop were sown on 6/12/97 in sand "conetainers" maintained at 75 degrees F in ebb and flow benches irrigated with tempered water at 80 degrees F. Plants were established at one plant per pot for large seeds, 1-3 plants per pot for medium seed, and 7-10 plants per pot for small seeds. On 6/25/97 each pot was inoculated with 10,000 eggs of Heterodera glycines race 3 (soybean cyst nematode). The nematodes were allowed to reproduce on the crops until 7/29/97, when white and yellow female cyst were counted. Hosting ability was then determined.

    http://www.iita.org/crop/soybean.htm
    Soybean Soybean ( Glycine max (L.)) is a legume that grows in tropical, subtropical, and temperate climates. Approximately half of the world’s soybeans are produced in the developing world, and the other half in the developed world. Soybean is an important source of high quality but inexpensive protein and oil. With an average protein content of 40% and oil content of 20%, soybean has the highest protein content of all food crops, and is second only to groundnut in terms of oil content among food legumes.
    Compared to other protein-rich foods such as meat, fish, and eggs, soybean is by far the cheapest. It also has a superior amino acid profile compared to other sources of plant protein. The amount of soybean protein consumed by humans worldwide is currently relatively low, but there is increasing public and commercial interest, and it has great potential as a major source of dietary protein for the future. The oil produced from soybean is highly digestible and contains no cholesterol. Soybean is the largest single source of edible oil and accounts for roughly 50% of the total seed oil production worldwide. A byproduct from the oil production, called soybean cake, is used as a high-protein animal feed in many countries.

    What are Cover Crops?
    Why Choose Small Grains as Cover Crops?
    How are Small Grain Cover Crops Established?
    A second method of establishing small grain cover crops is to wait until the soybean or corn crop has been harvested and use a no-till grain drill or shallow tillage to incorporate the seed. Seeding cover crops into fields planted to seed corn or silage corn, which is harvested earlier than grain corn, can be done after harvest with a grain drill or with a spreader and shallow tillage. Additionally, cover crops can be planted with drills or shallow tillage following harvest of early maturing soybean. Generally, only small grains that overwinter should be planted after the middle of September in north of I-80 and no later than mid-October.Small grains that don't overwinter, like oat and barley, normally need to be drilled or incorporated before mid-September for them to grow enough to provide any benefits. What are the Disadvantages of Small Grain Cover Crops?

    Purpose
    This part of the HortBiz Web site is dedicated to tracking the development of a market for edamame soybeans in Kentucky. We will be reporting on the progress of the Southern Region Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education Program (SARE) Producer Grant FS101-137, Marketing Edamame Soybeans in Kentucky. This page will not only track the development of this project, but also to offer a "how-to" case for new crop market development in Kentucky.
    Background
    In 1998 and 1999, Sara McNulty of Owensboro grew test plots of two soybean varieties developed at Iowa State University. The two varieties, ISTNL 2025 and ISTNL 2027, were the result of a successful effort led by ISU soybean breeder Dr. Walt Fehr. The goal was to cross Iowa soybean varieties with Japanese soybeans. The varieties of Japanese soybeans used had previously been developed through selective breeding for no lipoxygenase enzymes. (These enzymes cause a flavor most Americans dislike). The Iowa State team successfully put the less "beany" flavored soybean developed by Japanese researchers into a shorter season, Iowa bean.

    Suction Trap Network 2002
    In 2001, we established a network of suction traps to sample for flying soybean aphids. Our objectives were to determine when soybean aphids leave their overwintering host, Rhamnus species, to colonize soybean fields and when other significant flight activity occurs. The suction traps are approximately 25 feet tall and sample flying aphids within a 30-mile radius. We collected data from these traps weekly from mid-May through mid-September. The 2001 chart reveals that most captures occurred in northern Illinois from late July through mid-August.

    Growing and ensiling soybean forage between rice crops as a protein supplementfor pigs in north Vietnam. Bui Van Chinh, Nguyen Huu Tao and Do Viet Minh.
    http://www.cipav.org.co/lrrd/lrrd5/1/chinh.htm
    Livestock Research for Rural Development Volume 5, Number 1, June 1993 Growing and ensiling soybean forage between rice crops as a protein supplement for pigs in north Vietnam Bui Van Chinh, Nguyen Huu Tao and Do Viet Minh Animal Husbandry Research Institute, Hanoi, Vietnam Summary In North Vietnam a farming system of two rice crops and one winter crop system is common but only in the land where the summer rice crop is harvested early. The chance for a winter crop to mature is minor in the land where the summer crop is harvested late. Trials were therefore made to evaluate the use of the land for a forage crop, specifically soybean which was harvested at the flowering stage (60-70 days). The yield was 8,100 kg of green foliage from one ha, which contained 360 kg of crude protein equal to the amount of crude protein normally produced from one ha of soybean harvested as grain. The harvested soybean foliage was chopped and supplemented with rice bran (5 kg rice bran: 100 kg of chopped material) prior to ensiling in a pit. The silage was fed after 60 - 70 days. Crossbred pigs ( Local x Large White) were used as experimental animals. The silage was used to substitute 25-37% of the crude protein in the ration for growing pigs and 20-30% in that for fattening pigs. The silage was palatable. The control diet consisted of (%): rice bran 30.5; maize 50; fish meal 7.5; groundnut cake 7.5; soybean meal 3; mineral premix 1; vitamin premix 0.5. This was partially substituted in the two treatment groups by soybean silage which provided 25.3% or 37.5% of the total protein. Weight gains from 20 to 50 kg were (g/d): 435"33.3, 406"29.0 and 395"27.6. Results during the fattening phase (0, 19, 31% substitution of the protein with soybean foliage) were weight gain (g/d): 610"12, 600"46.7 and 601"12.6. Feed cost for 1 kg of liveweight gain decreased by 24% in the group substituted with 30% protein from ensiled soybean foliage.

    80. Biotech Soybean Seed Helps Growers Produce Safe & Profitable Crops
    Biotech soybean Seed Helps Growers Produce Safe and Profitable crops.
    http://www.soygrowers.com/newsroom/releases/2001 releases/r050201.htm
    A Message from ASA President Tony Anderson:
    May 2, 2001… St. Louis, Missouri… While farmers are busy putting the seeds of next year’s crop in the ground, a noted critic of modern agricultural practices is sowing seeds of distrust with a new report about biotechnology-enhanced soybeans. While farmer confidence in biotechnology-enhanced soybeans is at an all-time high, as evidenced by the recent USDA planting intentions report, agriculture’s critics won’t admit this confidence is a result of proven gains-both on the farm and in the environment-so this latest report shouldn’t surprise anyone. The report, issued by Dr. Charles Benbrook of the Northwest Science and Environmental Policy Center, discusses changes in herbicide applications and yields associated with the development of biotechnology-enhanced soybeans.  We think it is critical the American public understand the farm and environmental benefits of today’s biotechnology.  Dr. Benbrook is so intent on finding something wrong with biotechnology, that he misses the big picture. There are always questions about new technology.  As farmers growing food for a hungry world, we care very deeply about the safety and quality of our product, and we are committed to finding answers to the questions raised by biotechnology’s critics. But this quest for knowledge should not undermine the positive environmental gains we have made using modern biotechnology. I am sharing the following information with you to help ensure the farmer’s voice is heard within this debate.
