Non Destructive

A non-destructive volume displacement technique for determining vegetative volume as an estimate of biological yield (where the intact shoot of a plant is placed in a cylinder of water and the water displaced by the shoot is measured) was developed which allows soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) plants to be carried to maturity for seed yield.

Herbicide Drift

There have been anecdotal accounts of increased crop sensitivity due to herbicide drift followed by an in-crop herbicide. An experiment was conducted from 2005 to 2007 at Elora, Ridgetown, and Woodstock, Ontario, to determine the effects of simulated mesotrione drift followed by in-crop applications of glyphosate, imazethapyr, bentazon and glyphosate plus chlorimuron on glyphosate-resistant soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] visual injury, plant height, plant density, shoot dry weight, and seed yield. As the rate of simulated mesotrione drift increased, there was an increase in soybean injury and a decrease in shoot dry weight, height, and yield. Simulated mesotrione drift followed by bentazon resulted in synergistic responses in injury shortly after application in some environments. This increase in injury was transient, with no synergistic responses in density, shoot dry weight, and yield. In contrast, antagonistic responses were observed when glyphosate, imazethapyr, or glyphosate plus chlorimuron were applied after simulated mesotrione drift in some environments. Further research is required to develop a better understanding of the interactions of drift followed by the application of an in-crop herbicide.

Drought is the primary abiotic stress that limits yield of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.). The study aimed to identify yield-related quantitative trait loci (QTLs) in soybeans using a population of 160 F4-derived lines from ‘Hutcheson’ × PI 471938 crosses, which were cultivated under rain-fed and irrigated conditions. Seed yield was determined based on a total of nine irrigated and five rain-fed environments over two years. Twenty and twenty-seven SSR markers associated with yield (P ≤ 0.05) were identified in the irrigated and rain-fed environments, respectively. Four markers accounted for 22% of the yield variation in the irrigated environments (IR-YLD) and five markers explained 34% of the yield variation in the rain-fed environments (RF-YLD). Two independent IR-YLD and RF-YLD QTLs on chromosome (Chr) 13 (LG-F) were mapped to the Satt395-Sat_074 interval (4.2 cM) and near Sat_375 (3.0 cM), which explained 8% (LOD = 2.6) and 17% (LOD = 5.5) of the yield variation, respectively. The lines homozygous for the Hutcheson allele at the IR-YLD QTL linked to Sat_074 averaged 100 kg ha−1 higher yield than the lines homozygous for the PI 471938 allele. At two independent RF-YLD QTLs on Chr 13 and Chr 17, the lines homozygous for the PI 471938 alleles were 74 to 101 kg ha−1 higher in yield than the lines homozygous for the Hutcheson alleles. Three of the five significant SSR markers associated with RF-YLD were located in a genomic region known for canopy-wilting QTLs, in which the favorable alleles were inherited from PI 471938. The identification of yield-QTLs under the respective rain-fed and irrigated environments provides knowledge regarding differential responses of yield under different irrigation conditions, which will be helpful in developing high-yielding soybean cultivars.

The experiment was conducted in three locations Jari, Chefa and Sirinka of Eastern Amhara to select the best performing varieties, in terms of biomass yield, chemical composition, haulm yield, seed yield and other agronomic characteristics of Glycine max (L.) Merrill grown under the rain- fed condition of lowland areas of Eastern Amhara in a randomized complete block design with tree replications. Twelve released soybean varieties were Afgat ,Belesa-95, Boshe , Cheri , Dhidhessa, Gishama , Gizo, Korme, Pawe-03, katta, Wegayen and Wollo were used as a treatments. The seeds were planted in 40 cm between rows and 10 cm between plants on a plot size of 3.2m*4m. Spacing between blocks and plots were 1 and 0.5m, respectively. The seed rate was 60 kg/ha and a fertilizer rate 100 kg/ha NPS was applied during seed planting. The combined analysis of variance over two years at location Jari for dry matter yield of varieties Afgat, Gizo, Pawe-03, Wogayen and Wollo were significantly higher as compared to other soybean varieties. The combined analysis across locations at Jari and Sirinka (2019-second year) showed that varieties Afgat, Gishama, Gizo, Pawe-03, Wogayen and Wollo had higher dry matter yield and varieties Gishama (3.97 t/ha), Gizo (3.60 t/ha), Pawe-03 (4.04 t/ha) and Wogayen (3.36 t/ha) had higher haulm yield as compared with other varieties. The combined analysis across locations at Jari and Sirinka (2019) showed that varieties Pawe-03(2951 kg/ha), Gizo (2862 kg/ha), Afgat (2859 kg/ha), Gishama (2654 kg/ha),Wollo (2461 kg/ha) and Wogayen (2404 kg/ha) had higher seed yield as compared with other varieties. The variety Wollo gave higher crud protein content in two locations (Jari and Sirinka) .Therefore, varieties Afgat, Pawe-03 and Wollo were recommends for the given areas of Jari , Chefa, Sirinka and could be produced in similar environments for the best of produced optimal amount of dry matter, haulm and seed yield and good protein supplement for production of ruminants.Thus, further researches will be needed to investigate on the utilization of livestock.

Frogeye leaf spot (FLS) caused by Cercospora sojina Hara is a disease of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] that causes significant seed yield loss in warm, humid environments worldwide. The Rcs3 gene in soybean has been reported to condition resistance to all known races of C. sojina. The objectives of this study were to: (i) identify maturity group (MG) I to VI accessions resistant to C. sojina race 11 by field screening at two locations; and (ii) determine if the FLS resistance of the symptomless soybean accessions is likely to be conditioned by the Rcs3 allele. A total of 260 accessions including 12 differentials were evaluated for reaction to race 11 in field trials in Missouri and Illinois during 2009, and 20 accessions that did not develop symptoms were retested in 2010 to validate their resistance. The 20 accessions remained resistant and were tested for the potential presence of Rcs3 allele using molecular markers; and none was predicted to carry the Rcs3 allele. These accessions may contain novel loci for FLS resistance and may be used to broaden the base for developing soybean cultivars with frogeye leaf spot resistance.
