2014 Soybean Field Crop Trials Results

Transcription

1 Field Crop Trials Results Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station and the College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences Each year Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station scientists conduct performance tests of appropriately adapted public and private soybean entries. Companies are charged a fee for each entry to partially cover the costs of conducting these tests. A stipulation of the testing program is that the company is marketing or intends to begin marketing the entry in the next growing season. This information is also available electronically at the website www1.extension.umn.edu/agriculture/ soybean/ or The 2014 growing season was wetter than normal, especially during the early part of the season. Most soybeans matured late due to late planting. Harvest was accomplished with little delay and was finished by late October. Plots at Waseca had hail in late September, so no yields were obtained. Some plots at Danvers, Fairfax and Westbrook were stunted due to excess water soon after planting. Plots were not harvested at Kent due to herbicide damage. The SCN test at Thief River Falls was not planted due to excessive water at the test location. Tables 1 to 4 provide results from specific tests of available conventional, special-purpose and transgenic entries adapted to the far northern, northern, central and southern production zones. The map shows test locations and zone boundaries. All tests were planted between May 6 and June 11 at planting rates of 160,000 seeds/acre. Herbicides were used as necessary for good weed control. Row spacings were 12 inches at Crookston, 10 inches at Roseau, and 30 inches at all other locations. Plot combines were used to harvest the plots. Tables 5 to 10 provide performance and characteristics data from specialuse soybean entry tests. These tests were conducted to provide reliable data for growers who are interested in producing special-use soybeans, which are typically grown under contract. Table 11 provides important characteristics of publicly developed entries in the 2014 tests. Tables 12 to 14 provide results from the performance tests of soybean cyst nematode resistant entries in infested field sites near Danvers, Fairfax, Gary, Lamberton, Mahnomen and Rosemount. Tables 15 to 17 present SCN information from greenhouse tests conducted by the nematology laboratory at the University of Minnesota Southern Research and Outreach Center-Waseca, and soil analysis for SCN counts conducted by MVTL Laboratories, Inc., New Ulm. Greenhouse data are from evaluations of entries from the zone trials in soil with an HG type 0 (race 3) population of soybean cyst nematode. The level of SCN reproduction at the trial sites from each entry is shown as a field reproductive index and egg index, as well as a resistance rating. Comparisons are best made relative to the susceptible check entry within a 1 column. HG types for the fields were not available at time of publication. To better understand and use the data provided in these tables, please read the following additional information very carefully. Relative and Calendar Dates of Soybeans are photoperiod sensitive; that is, they respond to changing day length, so the actual calendar date of maturity achievement is affected by latitude. Each entry has a narrow range (about 100 miles) of north-south adaptation. Soybean yield and quality are best achieved when physiological maturity occurs before a season-ending freeze occurs. is determined visually by noting the actual date when 95% of the pods show their genetically programmed mature color. The dates for 2014 are provided in the tables. Harvest dates typically are 7 to 14 days later, depending upon drying Locations of 2014 soybean trials.

2 conditions. Nearly all entries were essentially mature before frost. Relative maturity ratings also are provided for each entry. These ratings consist of a number for the maturity group designations (000, 00, 0, 1, 2) followed by a decimal and another number, ranging from 0-9, which indicates a ranking within each maturity group. For example the entry MN0101 indicates a 0.1, making it an early group 0, while MN0901, with a 0.9 rating, is the latest group 0. Values for public entries are developed after observing them for several years in many locations. Relative maturity ratings for private entries in these tables, provided by their owners, were developed in a similar manner. Yield Because maturity is a very important attribute, entries are arranged in the tables in order of their actual or estimated 2014 calendar date of maturity and not yield performance. Later-maturing entries usually can be expected to have higher yields than earlier-maturing types. If you wish to compare yields correctly, do so only between entries with similar calendar dates of maturity, usually within 3 to 5 days. More-reliable comparisons can be made using yields from several consecutive years. All yield determinations were made from replicated tests harvested with a plot combine. Yield information is presented as a percent of the mean of the test. The actual mean value is given at the bottom of each table. Values over 100 indicate the entry had a yield greater than the mean, those less than 100 have a yield less than the mean. LSD values associated with data in these tables are measures of variability within the trials. The LSD numbers beneath the yield columns indicate whether the difference between yields is due to genetics or other factors, such as variations in the environment. If yield difference between two entries equals or exceeds the LSD value, the higher-yielding entry probably was superior in yield. A difference less than the LSD value probably is due to environmental factors. The LSD values are given on the percent of mean data, not the actual yields. A 20% level of significance is used in all of these tables, which means that yield differences exceeding the stated LSD value are real 80% of the time. Chlorosis Chlorosis is a yield-limiting condition in soybeans grown in alkaline soils with high calcium carbonate or calcium sulfate ions present, making iron unavailable and causing the soybean plants to turn yellow. This yellowing is visually scored on a 1 to 5 scale, where 1 shows no yellowing and 5 has severe yellowing that may even include death of the plant. Research has shown that for every unit increase in chlorosis, for example going from a 2 to a 3, a 20% reduction in yield may occur. All iron deficiency chlorosis (IDC) ratings in tables are from tests conducted on high-lime (high ph) soils near Danvers in Comparing chlorosis scores of entries permits you to estimate how well they perform relative to each other. Actual chlorosis ratings can vary depending on the specific site and year of test. Because of this high level of variability it is usually very difficult to identify the best-performing entries. Producers with a known history of IDC problems may find it more useful to avoid entries with the most severe (4 or 5) IDC ratings. Different organizations may use different scales or descriptions. A comparison of three different chlorosis-rating systems follows. Numerical Score Rating 1-5 scale 1-9 scale 1 to 2 1 to 2.5 Tolerant (T) 2.1 to to 5 Moderately Tolerant (MT) 3.1 to to 7.5 Moderately Susceptible (MS) 4.1 to to 9 Susceptible (S) Protein and Oil Protein and oil values were determined from mature seed using near infrared reflectance analysis equipment. The table values are for the 2014 season only. Protein and oil information is presented on a percent of the mean for each test. The actual mean values, expressed on a 13% moisture basis, are given at the bottom of each table. Values over 100 indicate the protein and/or oil contents of the entry are greater than the mean value while those less than 100 have protein and/or oil contents less than the mean. Absolute values of protein and oil can vary from year to year. The following formula is used to adjust the protein and oil values to another moisture basis. 100-desired moisture X protein or oil value 87 given in the table The value of a bushel of soybeans (APV) based on its oil and protein content can be calculated by: APV = 60 [Po (X) + Pm (Y)].44 Where: APV = Approximate value of a bushel of soybeans Po = soybean oil price (in $ per pound) Pm = price of 44% meal (in $ per pound)* X = oil content at 13% moisture (in decimals) Y = protein content at 13% moisture (in decimals) And: *price of meal $ / ton = $ / pound 2,000 The value of an acre of soybeans can be calculated by multiplying the APV by the yield in bushels per acre. Phytophthora Phytophthora root rot is a soil-borne disease that occurs in heavy wet soils. Infection generally occurs during germination. Phytophthora root rot can cause significant yield reductions if susceptible varieties are planted in poorly drained, infested fields. Variety selection is the best defense against this yield reducing pathogen. There are 2

3 several known races of this fungus, so it is important to know which are present in a particular field. Genes can be incorporated into varieties to provide resistance to specific races of this disease. Genes for resistance to various races of Phytophthora root rot are listed in the table below. Some published information refers to Phytophthora tolerance or field resistance, which is not race-specific and should not be confused with racespecific resistance as indicated in the table below. Reliable tests for tolerance have not yet been fully developed. Data tables in this report indicate which Phytophthora gene or genes is/ are present in each entry. Soybean Cyst Nematode Soybean Cyst Nematode (SCN) is a microscopic round worm that infects and reproduces in soybean roots. It was first identified in Minnesota in 1978 and is now known to occur in most Minnesota counties where soybeans are grown. Both the area of infestation and number of nematodes per unit of soil appear to be increasing. Several HG types (or races) of this pest are known to occur in Minnesota. When SCN numbers are high (> than 5,000 eggs/100 cc soil), significant yield losses can occur. Rotations to non-host crops and planting of resistant entries can assist in reducing nematode populations as well as reducing its impact on yield. Yield performance results of susceptible (S), low-resistant (LR), moderately resistant (MR) and resistant (R) entries planted in infested fields in northern, central and southern Minnesota are provided in Tables 12 to 14. The entrants supplied the source for SCN resistance in these tables. In Tables 15 to 17 the resistance ratings are based on a greenhouse bioassay using an HG Type 0 (Race 3) SCN population. The reproductive index is calculated as the number of nematodes at the end of the season (Pf) divided by the number of nematodes at the beginning of the season (Pi) in soil samples collected from the field plots. The field egg count index (Ei) is the number of SCN eggs expressed as a percent of the average of the susceptible check entries (Pf). Both the reproductive index and the field egg count index are useful indicators of an entry s ability to suppress SCN reproduction. Data are less reliable if initial SCN egg counts are < 500 or >8,000/100 cc soil. Graphs at the end show reproductive indexes at individual locations. Green indicates fewer eggs at the end of the season compared to the beginning. Yellow indicates the egg counts were essentially the same. Red indicates there were more eggs at the end of the season compared to the beginning. Red is an undesirable SCN management result. For proper management of fields with SCN, it is recommended that entries with an R rating be planted. If the SCN population numbers are relatively low (<1500) an entry with an MR rating might be considered. LR and S rated entries should not be considered for planting in fields where SCN is present. Some entries are rated as tolerant, however no data from the Genes for resistance to various races of Phytophthora root rot. Gene Races Rps1, 1-a 1, 2, 10, 11, 13, 15-18, 24, 26, 27 Rps1-b 1, 3-9, 13-15, 17, 18, 21, 22 Rps1-c 1-3, 6-11, 13, 15, 17, 21, 23, 24, 26 Rps1-k 1-11, 13-15, 17, 18, 21, 22, 24, 26 Rps3-a 1-5, 8, 9, 11, 13, 14, 16, 18, 23, 25 Rps4 1-4, 10, 12-16, 18-21, 25 Rps6 1-4, 10, 12, 14-16, 18-21, 25 northern United States has verified the usefulness of tolerant entries in maintaining yield and reducing SCN numbers. The graphs on pages show the results for the field reproductive index for the individual SCN locations. Entries are listed by maturity from earliest to latest. The length of the bars indicates the yield of the entries in bushel per acre. The shading (color) of the bars indicates the ability of the entry for that SCN field population to reduce the SCN numbers during the growing season: Green indicates SCN numbers decreased during the growing season under that entry the reason for using SCN-resistant entries. Yellow indicates that the SCN numbers were essentially the same over the growing season not the desired reduction, but not an increase in numbers. Red bars indicate that the SCN numbers increased during the growing season under that entry an undesirable outcome for managing SCN. These entries would not be recommended for fields with this race/hg type SCN population. Management information is available from web site or from the Minnesota Soybean Research and Promotion Council, 151 St. Andrews Court, Suite 710, Mankato, MN 56001, or www. mnsoybean.org. White Mold White mold, also known as Sclerotinia stem rot, develops in infested fields when high relative humidity and moderate temperatures occur during soybean flowering. Planting less-susceptible entries in wider row spacings or at lower populations is the most effective method of reducing the severity of white mold. Accurate ratings for resistance to white mold are difficult to obtain 3

4 because both infection and disease development are dependent on weather conditions. Because of this variability, performance can change significantly among locations and years depending on the interaction of plant development, precipitation, relative humidity, and temperature. White mold severity also tends to be greater if lodging occurs. Growers concerned about performance in the presence of white mold should select varieties that show consistently less white mold during several years of testing. MN0091 and MN0701 are public varieties with better than average white mold resistance. Brown Stem Rot Brown stem rot (BSR) is a fungal disease that can cause yield losses in certain situations. The disease occurs most frequently when soybeans follow soybeans but can occur where soybeans are planted every other year. Resistant rotations or longer rotations assist in the management of this disease. MN0304, MN0902CN, MN1302, Freeborn and IA2008R are available public entries with resistance to BSR.

Reliable tests for tolerance or field resistance have not yet been developed. Special-Use Entries There continues to be increased interest in producing soybeans with special characteristics important to specialty food product manufacturers, such as tofu, natto, miso, and soy milk. Soybean scientists previously developed some of these special-use entries, which were general releases, but more recently entries have been released under exclusive or nonexclusive licenses to specific companies who then contract with growers for production. For further information contact Minnesota Crop Improvement Association at web site or telephone number Seed Treatments Entrants were allowed to enter treated seed in The type of seed treatment, as provided by the originator, is designated as follows: AC = Acceleron AM = ApronMax AGE = Apron + Gaucho + Evergol CM = Cruiser Maxx CMG = Cruiser Maxx + Gaucho CMV = Cruiser Maxx + Vibrance GAT = Gaucho+Apron+Trilex CR = Cruiser SCE = SmartCote Extra T5000 = Trilex 5000 Research indicates that under some conditions seed treatments can affect the final yield. The exact situations are not always clear, but when comparing entries note if a seed treatment was used on the seed being tested. In some tables the entry type is indicated in a separate column. The designations are: CV, conventional variety (non-transgenic); LL, LibertyLink (glufosinate resistant); R1, Roundup Ready (glyphosate resistant); R2, Round Ready 2 Yield (glyphosate resistant); and ST, (Sulfonylura tolerant).
