We have demonstrated an improved synthesis of a cyclic carbonate of soybean oil (CSO) utilizing supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2) as the solvent. Because the mutual solubility of supercritical CO2 and soybean oil is significantly higher than that of gaseous CO2 and soybean oil, our method synthesizes the material in y1/3 of the reaction time reported in the literature. We have also demonstrate...

in order to evaluate intercropping of soybean (glycine max l. cv. jk) with sweet basil (ocimum basilicum l.) and borage (borago officinalis l.) with weed interference, an experiment was performed in randomized complete block design with 12 treatments and three replications at a field located 10 km of shirvan during year of 2011. the treatments were included 75% soybean: 25%sweet basil, 50%soybe...

Legume crops are advocated for integration into crop rotation systems, and cereal-based rotations with the presence of legumes have a substantial effect on improving soil fertility health. It is not yet clear whether frequency legume inclusion in systems influences biochemical properties organic matter (SOM) mineralization. An incubation experiment was conducted 13C-glucose addition to evaluate...

Corn (Zea mays L.) and soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] rotations are common production systems across the midwestern United States. However, the interactive effect of crop rotation, tillage, and nematicide seed treatments on the yield of both crops in the rotation system is not well understood. Field trials were conducted in a long-term crop rotation experiment during 2013 to 2015 to measure y...

In the last 10 yr, computer technology and information systems, and especially the World Wide Web system Official variety trial (OVT) information in soybean [Glycine max and the Internet, have affected many aspects of people’s (L.) Merr.]-producing states is critical to soybean growers in decisionlives. Because of the advantages of the web and database making processes. Most soybean-producing s...

This paper uses a methodology based in fuzzy sets theory in order to describe the interaction between the prey, Aphis glycines (Hemiptera: Aphididae) the soybean aphid, and its predator, Orius insidiosus (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae). Economic thresholds were already developed for this pest. The aim of this investigation was to develop a simple and specific methodology by fuzzy rule-based system to...
