Focus on Soybean has launched two new webcasts. One is titled “Keys to Entering the 100-Bushel Soybean Club” by Bill Wiebold at the University of Missouri, and the other is titled “Performance of First and Second-Generation Roundup Ready Soybean Varieties” by Shaun Casteel at Purdue. Both webcasts are applicable nationally, and they will be publicly available through April 30, 2011.
Learn Steps to Joining the 100-Bushel Club and Compare the Performance of 1st and 2nd Generation RR Soybean Varieties through Focus on Soybean
The Plant Management Network, a nonprofit publisher of research-backed agricultural and horticultural information, announces the launch of its two latest webcasts:
“Keys to Entering the 100-Bushel Soybean Club” by Bill Wiebold, State Soybean Extension Specialist at the University of Missouri; and “Performance of First and Second Generation Roundup Ready Soybean Varieties” by Shaun Casteel, Soybean Extension Specialist at Purdue.
“Keys to Entering the 100-Bushel Soybean Club” will help consultants, growers, and other practitioners throughout the United States better understand yield and what it takes to reach the 100-bushel threshold for soybean yield. Part one of the presentation discusses soybean yield and how factors during the plant's life cycle influence yield. Part two describes six keys to increasing soybean yield. By the end of the presentation, practitioners will better understand how soybean plants produce yield and will be able to use that understanding to develop cropping systems that enhance profitable soybean production.

“Performance of First & Second Generation Roundup Ready Soybean Varieties” offers yield comparisons between RR1 and RR2 varieties using data from various Midwestern states, but the principles for comparing the technologies is appropriate for growers, consultants, and other crop professionals in all states. The effects of geography, maturity group, and seed treatments are discussed for improved decisions in variety selection.
