When farmers ask Matt Duesterhaus whether they can reduce soybean planting populations and still produce high yields, his brief answer is it depends on the specific cards in their hand. “Some of those ...

The optimisation of soybean yield is a vital goal for modern agriculture, especially in the context of global food security and sustainable farming practices. Central to this endeavour is the ...

The concept of variable-rate technology (VRT) in corn is no stranger to fields across the Midwest. Farmers continue to reap the agronomic and economic benefits of VRT in corn. Although using the ...

WATERTOWN, S.D. — SDSU researchers have conducted several studies to identify practices that may have an impact on maximizing soybean yield potential. Studies have found that planting at an earlier ...

URBANA, Ill. -- With less costly soybean seed and the wide range of which soybean plant populations produce similar yields, soybean seeding rates have not historically been as closely calculated as ...

Using time-series data collected across two growing seasons, the study accurately reconstructed canopy growth trajectories and identified key intermediate traits—particularly mid-season leaf area ...

HUTCHINSON -- This spring we have seen a significant percent of corn acres already planted prior to May 1. Thus many growers are faced with the decision of when to begin their soybean planting. Soil ...

A research team has developed the SCAG algorithm for accurate branch detection and angle calculation in soybean plants using LiDAR data. SCAG achieved high accuracy in branch detection (F-score=0.77) ...
