Research Helps
Make Soybeans
Major Slate Crop
Soybeans in Georgia are
growing as fast and as high as
the beans Jack of “Jack and the
Beanstalk” planted in storyland
long ago, and the end isn’t yet
in sight.
In 1967 Georgia farmers
planted an estimated 542,000
acres in soybeans compared
with only 96,000 acres in 1963.
Average yield for the state in
1967 was 24 bushels per acre
for a total production of
13,008,000 bushels.
Among many things responsi
ble for this big increase in soy
bean production is the increase
in soybean production know-how
of Georgia growers. A consid
erable part of this know-how has
been gained through soybean
research in the University of
Georgia College of Agriculture
Experiment Stations.
Because daylengthand temper
ature are critical factors in the
maturity of the soybean plant,
planting an adapted variety is
especially important. Today
Georgia farmers know which
soybean variety to plant in their
area because all varieties of
fered for sale in the state are
tested in performance trials at
the experiment stations before
they are recommended by county
agents of the Cooperative Ex
tension Service.
In addition to these variety
trials, research agronomists
have conducted and are continu
ing research with soybeans on
fertilization, seed treatment,
cultural practices, chemical
weed control, plant populations
and row spacings.
One important recommendation
for soybean production which
comes directly out of research at
experiment stations is seed
treatment with molybdenum. In
this research by Myron Parker of
the Mountain station at Blairs
ville and Dr. Haskell Harris of
the Georgia station at Experi
ment, molybdenum salts applied
as seed treatment at the rate of
1 ounce per acre increased soy
bean yields as much as 64 per
cent, or 12 bushels per acre.
Molybdenum seed treatment
has been recommended since
1963. Cost is usually less than
50 cents per acre and this prac
tice may well be research’s most
valuable contribution to profit
able soybean production in Geor
gia to date. Assuming that
molybdenum treatment has in
creased the state average yield
by three bushels per acre, as
Dr. Harris believes, at the cur
rent support price of $2.50 per
bushel, molybdenum treatment
brought Georgia growers an ad
ditional $4,065,000 in soybean
income for 1967 alone.
Results of research on seeding
rates offer Georgia growers
another important saving. B. J.
Johnson, also of the Georgia
station, and Dr. Harris found
that planting one-half bushel
per acre of certified soybean
seed that will germinate 85 per
cent on a well-prepared seedbed
is ample for maximum yields.
By cutting back to this seeding
rate, Georgia growers, most of
whom now plant from one to two
bushels of seed per acre, could
save from two to four dollars
an acre.
In related studies Mr. Johnson
and Dr. Harris learned that nor
mal soybean yields can lie made
from apparently poor stands.
With an adapted variety—Bragg
in these Piedmont area tests—
replanting soybeans is not
necessary until stands fall below
two plants per foot of row,
, Mr. Parker and Dr. Harris are
currently investigating the role
of nitrogen in the productivity of
the soybean plant.
Soybean growers in the Coastal
Plain area are benefiting from
results of research conducted by
Agronomists Warren Merchant
and Milton Walker of the Coastal
Plain station at Tifton. Results
of their research with planting
dates shows that May 10 to May
25 is the ideal period for plant
ing soybeans in the Coastal
Plain. Mid-June is not too late
| to plant, especially when the
soybeans are planted following
small grain. Farmers who wait
until late June can expect short
plants, poor growth and poor
yields.
Tests at Tifton show soy
beans can be planted behind
small grains with minimum til
lage with no loss in yield .when
time and moisture are limiting
factors. With minimum tillage,
depth of planting—in a furrow
, with one and one half inches of
soil covering the seed—is quite
important. Planting too deep
will result in poor stands.
After one year of testing,
preliminary results indicate
that.no advantage is gained by
planting soybeans in combination
. with corn for grain.
Research on seed treatment
for disease control has been
conducted at Tifton during the
past year by Dr. P. D. Dukes,,
plant pathologist. Also, research
on insect control and studies to
determine the feasibility of soy
’ bean production in rotation with
peanuts, involving special land
preparation toois and techniques,
and the effect of nitrogen and
limestone on yield and grades of
soybeans on Coastal Plain soils
were initiated this year.
