Canopy position has a profound effect on soybean seed composition
Although soybean seeds appear homogeneous, their composition (protein, oil and mineral concentrations) can vary significantly with the canopy position where they were produced. In studies with 10 cultivars grown over a 3-yr period, we found that seeds produced at the top of the canopy have higher concentrations of protein but less oil and lower concentrations of minerals such as Mg, Fe, and Cu ...
متن کاملNozzle type effect on soybean canopy penetration
A spray track was designed and built to conduct replicated laboratory and field studies to compare different nozzle configurations on the ability of each to achieve lower canopy spray coverage. The purpose was to determine which nozzles might be more affective in preventing or controlling Asian Soybean Rust. Twenty nozzle types were compared in the lab and twelve nozzle types were compared in t...
متن کاملNitrogen Fertilizer Effects on Soybean Growth, Yield, and Seed Composition
While previous research has been contradictory, potential grain yield responses and seed protein increases have led to con tinuing interest in N fertilizer application to soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.]. Field experiments were conducted at seven lo cations from 1990 to 1991 in Alabama to determine soybean response to N fertilization at various growth stages. Treatments included a factorial a...
متن کاملEffect of soybean ureases on seed germination and plant development
Urease catalyzes the hydrolysis of urea to ammonia and carbon dioxide. The ammonia (nitrogen (N) product of urease activity) is incorporated into organic compounds. Thus, urease is involved in N remobilization, as well as in primary N assimilation. Two urease isoforms have been described for soybean: the embryo-specific, encoded by the Eu1 gene, and the ubiquitous urease, encoded by Eu4. A thir...
متن کاملNitrogen Sources and Rates Affect Soybean Seed Composition in Mississippi
Soybean (Glycine max L.) seed is a major source of protein, oil, carbohydrates and other nutrients that are important for human and animal nutrition. Producers have considered applying nitrogen (N) fertilizer to soybean crop to maximize seed yield; however, its effect on seed composition is not well understood. The objective of this two-year (2015 and 2016) study was to evaluate the effects of ...
