4 Missouri 007 Soybean Performance Tests This report is a contribution of the Division of Plant Sciences, University of Missouri College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources. The work was supported by fees from companies and organizations submitting varieties for evaluation. Soybeans were first included in the University of Missouri's variety testing program in 97. The number of entries in the program has increased from in 97 to 66 in 007. The large number of varieties available makes selection of a superior variety difficult. To select intelligently, producers need a reliable, unbiased, up-to-date source of information that will permit valid comparisons among available varieties. The objective of the University of Missouri's performance testing program is to provide this information. The tests are conducted under as uniform conditions as possible. Small plots are used to reduce the chance of soil and climatic variations occurring between the variety plots. Results obtained should aid the individual grower in judging the relative merits of the commercial soybean varieties available in Missouri today. Comparing Varieties The performance of a variety cannot be measured with absolute precision. Uncontrollable variability is involved in the determination of each yield average. This variability sometimes occurs because the soil is not uniform, but many other conditions may also contribute. Because variability exists in all field experimentation, statistics are used as a tool to assist in making decisions. The statistical tool used in these tests is the test of least significant difference (LSD). The LSD is quite simple to apply. When two entries are compared and the difference between them is greater than the LSD, the entries are judged to be significantly different. Differences smaller than the LSD may have occurred by chance and are judged to be not significant. Variety performance may seem inconsistent across locations and from year to year because of differences in rainfall, temperature, soil fertility, diseases, insects and other factors. To obtain an improved estimate of relative variety performance, readers should consider results from more than one location or year. In this publication, the authors have tried to facilitate comparisons across years and locations. In each test, the "top yielding" varieties in each maturity group have been identified. These varieties did not yield significantly less than the highest yielding variety in the same maturity group. They are denoted in the tables by an asterisk (*) next to their yields. Thus, by going down a column, readers can readily identify the highest yielding varieties. By following a row across the table, readers can evaluate the relative performance of a variety during several years or at several locations. From the standpoint of yield, the most desirable varieties will be those that rank among the "top yielding" varieties (that is, have an asterisk) the greatest number of times. Although yield usually receives first consideration, other agronomic characteristics may be equally important when selecting a soybean variety. Standability, maturity, herbicide tolerance and disease resistance are among the characteristics that deserve careful consideration. Several diseases prevalent in Missouri can be devastating to susceptible varieties. Lodging may reduce yields and slow harvest. Poor seed quality is often associated with varieties that mature while temperatures are still high. Late-maturing varieties are occasionally killed by frost. Selection of varieties from several maturity groups can be helpful in spreading out harvest dates. Therefore, information presented on disease reaction, lodging, herbicide tolerance and maturity should also be considered when selecting a variety. The Missouri Variety Testing Program does not recommend specific varieties. Farmers growing a new variety for the first time should consider all available information and then grow a small acreage to determine adaptability. This should be the practice for all new varieties regardless of origin. The Authors William J. Wiebold is a Professor of Plant Sciences and State Extension Specialist; Howard L.

5 Experimental Procedures for Soybean Tests Test Descriptions: Glyphosate Resistant Soybean Test: This test includes glyphosate resistant varieties and receives a postemergence application of glyphosate. Non-Glyphosate Resistant/ Special Traits Soybean Test: This test is a combination of the Non-Glyphosate Resistant Soybean Test and the Special Traits Soybean Test. Examples of soybean lines with special traits include tofu, natto, food grade, isoflavone, high oil, fatty acid profile, and high protein. Three high yield check varieties were included in these tests for comparison. Entries: All producers of soybean varieties were eligible to enter the 007 soybean evaluation tests. Participation was voluntary and the test coordinators exercised no control over which or how many varieties were entered. To help finance the evaluation program, the participants paid $00 per location for each variety entered. Plot Management: All test plots were planted and harvested with commercial equipment modified for small plot work. Row spacing for soybean tests in the North, Central and Southwest Regions was inches. Row spacing for soybean tests in the Southeast Region was 0 inches. Seeding rate for the -inch and 0-inch row spacing was 74,00 seeds/acre. Fertilizer was applied at each location at the discretion of the farmer or the station manager. Weed control was achieved with Roundup herbicide for the Glyphosate Resistant Tests and various other herbicides for the Non-Glyphosate Resistant/Special Traits Tests and additional hand weeding was done as required. Management details varied from location to location and are specified in the regional crop management summaries. Data Recorded: Maturity group classification is provided by the entry sponsor. Maturity data are recorded when approximately 7 percent of the pods have turned color. Lodging and height are determined immediately before harvest. A scale of to is used to score lodging. Interpretation of the scale is as follows: = all plants erect, = all plants leaning moderately or 0% to 0% down, = all plants down. Data on maturity, plant height, lodging and yield are given for each entry and location. Yield is measured in bushels (60 pounds) per acre at a moisture content of.0 percent. An electronic moisture tester is used for all moisture readings. All soybean locations were tested for the presence of SCN eggs in the soil before planting. Every effort was made to locate the test sites in fields of low to moderate levels of SCN. These numbers are given in the heading information of each table. Accessibility of Data: The results of the 007 crop performance tests are also available online at: agebb.missouri.edu/cropperf/vartest. If you need assistance in accessing the system; call for help. Field Plot Design. Statistical designs used to analyze the field data included randomized lattice with three replications and randomized complete block with four replications, depending on the size of the test. Individual plots were four rows wide for the -inch row spacing and two rows wide for the 0-inch row spacing with a row length of feet for both. All four rows of each plot were harvested for the inch row spacing test and both rows of each plot were harvested for the 0-inch row spacing to determine yield. Locations: On the basis of geographical characteristics, the state was divided into regions. Glyphosate Resistant and Non- Glyphosate Resistant/Special Traits soybean varieties were evaluated at twenty test sites at nineteen locations in all regions of the state. Test locations are shown on the adjacent map. North Missouri. Steve Cunningham farm, Craig (Holt Co.). Hundley-Whaley Research Center, Albany (Gentry Co.).

6 North Region Crop Management Summary There are five locations in the North Region for Glyphosate Resistant and Non-Glyphosate Resistant / Special Traits Soybean Tests this year. They are located in counties where a significant number of acres of soybean are grown according to the Missouri Agricultural Statistics Service. Cultural practices vary slightly between locations, but tend to reflect those followed by farmers in the area. Soybean yields at all five locations were good this year, even though rainfall was short for most of the North Region. The Non-Glyphosate Resistant / Special Traits Test at Craig was lost due to circumstances beyond our control. The test at Albany was sprayed this summer with Warrior to control soybean aphids that had invaded the field. Climatological information for the growing season (May September 0) for the North Region is summarized below and cultural practices for each site are listed in Table. Average temperature = 7.7 degrees,. degrees above normal Average precipitation = 8.4,.7 below normal Table.

30 Central Region Crop Management Summary There are five locations in the Central Region for Glyphosate Resistant Soybean Tests this year. They are located in counties where a significant number of acres of soybean are grown according to the Missouri Agricultural Statistics Service. Cultural practices vary slightly between locations, but tend to reflect those followed by farmers in the area. Yields at four of the five locations were good this year, even though rainfall was short for most of the Central Region. At Truxton, rainfall for the period from July September 0 totaled a mere 4.4, whereas the normal for that period is 0.7. The plants were very short (average height of 6 ) and the pods were sparse and small. Average yields there only reached 4.6 bushels/acre and 9. bushels/acre for the maturity group three and maturity group four tests respectively. Climatological information for the growing season (May September 0) for the Central Region is summarized below and cultural practices for each site are listed in Table. Average temperature = 7.4 degrees,. degrees above normal Average precipitation =.6, 4. below normal Table.
