Soybean Seed Quality Survey, Dennis M. Tekrony Jan 1974

Soybean Seed Quality Survey, Dennis M. Tekrony

Agronomy Notes

During the past four years soybean acreage has nearly tripled in Kentucky to 1.1 million acres in 1973. Even though the total acreage has increased substantially, the average yield per acre has declined slightly during the same period to 28 bushels per acre in 1973. Why this low statewide average yield when we know that some Kentucky farmers consistently produce yields of over 40 bushels per acre? Many factors can contribute to this problem including; improper use of herbicides and pesticides, inadequate soil fertility, non-adapted varieties, low quality planting seed, and timely management of all production practices. The objective of …


The Influence Of Soil Temperature On Soybean Seed Emergence, Dennis B. Egli, J. L. Hatfield, J. Hill, Dennis M. Tekrony May 1973

The Influence Of Soil Temperature On Soybean Seed Emergence, Dennis B. Egli, J. L. Hatfield, J. Hill, Dennis M. Tekrony

Agronomy Notes

The best way to obtain adequate soybean stands is to plant high quality seed in an optimum soil environment. But this year many farmers may not be able to obtain enough high quality soybean seed and some acreage may be planted with seed of lower than normal quality. Thus it will be even more important to have an optimum soil environment.

York Soybeans Added To Recommended List, Dennis B. Egli Apr 1970

York Soybeans Added To Recommended List, Dennis B. Egli

Agronomy Notes

York soybean, a pure line selection developed by the Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station from a cross of Dorman X Hood, was recently added to the recommended list for Kentucky. It was released jointly in 1967 by Virginia, Maryland, and North Carolina.

Notice Of Release Of Custer Soybean, J. F. Shane, S. H. Phillips Mar 1967

Notice Of Release Of Custer Soybean, J. F. Shane, S. H. Phillips

Agronomy Notes

The Crops Research Division, Agricultural Research Service, and the cooperators listed above announce the release of a new phytophthora and cyst nematode-resistant soybean variety named Custer. Custer is the second cyst nematode-resistant variety to be released. It is earlier than the previously released variety Pickett.


New Soybean Varieties, J. F. Shane, S. H. Phillips Jan 1966

New Soybean Varieties, J. F. Shane, S. H. Phillips

Agronomy Notes

Several new soybean varieties have been released during the past few months. Many have appeared in the Uniform Soybean Nurseries at Henderson or Fulton as number strains or named varieties. The following abbreviated descriptions may be of help in comparing these newer releases with more widely known material.


The Effect Of Light On The Growth Of Soybean Seedlings, Mary Abrahamsen, T. W. Sudia Jan 1965

The Effect Of Light On The Growth Of Soybean Seedlings, Mary Abrahamsen, T. W. Sudia

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

ABSTRACT- During the course of 13 days of germination and growth, the dry weights of roots, hypocotyl, and epicotyl increased in soybeans grown both in the light and in the· dark. The roots of etiolated 13-day-old soybeans were only 50 per cent of the weights of roots from similar plants grown in the light. The epicotyls of etiolated plants were only 18 per cent of the dry weight of epicotyls of light-grown plants, but the hypocoyl weights of etiolated plants were greater than those grown in the light. Cotyledon dry weight of light-grown plants was reduced by 70 per cent …
