**Jan and Scott: Article for the blank page. Carry over soybean seed: dead, alive or somewhere between? By: Mark Seamon, Michigan Soybean Promotion Committee Research Coordinator

One of the tales from the 2019 growing season is that some seed did not get planted as planned. Many farms have carried soybean seed over with intentions to plant it in 2020. A few bags or partial boxes of seed have been planted a year after they were purchased with good results, but the quantity of seed, and its value, carried over from 2019 suggests that we manage it more carefully.

The first step in managing this carryover seed is to figure out how much of it is still viable. Not only is it important to determine if it is still live seed, but if it has vigor to make a successful productive soybean plant. While we all hope for ideal conditions at planting, it more likely that the seeds that are put in the ground will need to survive through some challenges. Jim Palmer, Michigan Crop Improvement Association, suggests submitting seed samples for both warm and cold germination tests. “This will gauge seed performance in less than ideal conditions,” Jim shared. These two tests require a two-pound seed sample and about two weeks to analyze.

When sampling carryover seed be sure to take a representative sample. This means taking seed from multiple bags or reaching deeply into seed boxes or tote bags. Samples can be taken anytime, as the biggest changes in seed quality have already happened between when it was harvested, maybe as long as 16 months ago, and now. Keep in mind that this seed was harvested in the fall of 2018, which included some challenging conditions leading to seed quality issues. The quality of seed is at its highest point when it dries down naturally in the pod. After that time it does not improve - the quality only decreases.

A few suggestions for getting the most of carryover soybean seed are: • Know both warm and cold germination rates • Increase planting rate to adjust for decreased germination rate and/or vigor • Plant into good conditions (warm soil, minimum residue) • Handle as little as possible (to avoid seed damage)

Some growers have used a home germination test in wet paper towels to get an idea of seed viability. This should be used at a minimum, as it may only give you best-case scenario results since the seed is germinated indoors in warm conditions.

The fact that the seed is treated is not a good indicator of whether it will perform well a year later than it was intended to be used. Some seed-applied pesticides can negatively affect seed quality after a year of storage while others may improve seed performance. Conversely, untreated seed cannot be assumed to be high quality after being stored for extended periods.

Managing seed quality before planting will help to avoid problems such as a replant situation that would take a couple of weeks after planting to diagnose. There will be enough challenges in profitably producing crops in 2020, so let’s take proactive steps to minimize the negative and maximize the positive.

2019 MICHIGAN SOYBEAN PERFORMANCE

REPORT D. WANG, R.G. LAURENZ, R. STOUTENBURG,

DEPT. OF PLANT SOIL & MICROBIAL SCIENCES This report provides information on the performance of Conventional, Liberty Link, and Roundup Ready soybean varieties in Michigan in 2019. The presentation of data for the entries tested does not suggest approval or endorsement of varieties by Michigan State University. This data is posted at https://varietytrials.msu.edu/.

TESTING PROCEDURES

Eight trials are reported here. The Central locations for the Conventional, Roundup Ready and Liberty Link trials include test sites in Allegan, Gratiot, Saginaw and Sanilac Counties. The Southern locations for the Conventional, Liberty Link and Roundup Ready trials include test sites in Hillsdale, Ingham, Lenawee, and St. Joseph (irrigated) Counties. Twenty-one seed companies entered a total of 194 commercial varieties. There are many new products in the trials this year. Since varieties that contain Enlist and GT27 herbicide resistant traits were deregulated, we were able to include those lines in the trials. The cooperators, planting dates, harvest dates, and other site details for the locations are listed below. Seed was planted in 6-row plots, 20 feet long with 15-inch row spacing, at a depth of 1.5-inches. The planting rate was 160,000 seeds/acre. At each location, varieties were replicated four times in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). All locations were planted to 16 feet with 4 foot alleys that were not trimmed. Only the center four rows were harvested. Experimental design, data management, and data analysis were conducted with AGROBASE Generation II, (Agronomix Software, Inc., Winnipeg, Canada).

The Central Liberty Link soybean varieties were tested in Allegan, Gratiot, Saginaw and Sanilac Counties. The South Liberty Link soybean varieties were tested in Hillsdale, Ingham, Lenawee, and St. Joseph Counties. Both trials were treated with conventional herbicides as noted in test site information.

GROWING CONDITIONS / COMMENTS

Wet conditions plagued the planting season and many fields did not get planted, including 2 of our test sites. According to USDA statistics, as of June 16th, only 53% of Michigan soybeans were planted compared to the 94% average over the last five years. After the very wet spring, most of the summer growing season was dry. This resulted in shorter plants and reduced lodging.

Rain, again, restricted the harvest season. Wet conditions delayed harvest in many areas. As of November 4th, 2019, only 57% of soybeans grown in Michigan were harvested (USDA-NASS). At the time of printing this report, the Gratiot county trial has not been harvested.

USING THE DATA

Results are presented in Tables 1 through 8. Yield: Yield is expressed as bushels per acre at 13% moisture and is reported as single and across site averages for 2019. Two and three year means are also presented when applicable. Height: Plant height, reported in inches, was measured at maturity from the soil surface to the tip of the main stem. The reported values are means of 4 reps at all sites. Lodging: Lodging scores reflect the erectness of the plants before harvest. The reported values are means of 4 reps at all sites. Ratings are based on the following scale: 1= Almost all plants are erect. 2= All plants leaning slightly, or fewer than 25% of the plants are down. 3= All plants leaning moderately (45%), or 25% to 50% of the plants are down. 4= All plants leaning considerably, or 50% to 80% of the plants are down. 5= Almost all plants are down. Protein and Oil Content: Protein and oil content of the seed was determined using near-infrared reflectance and is expressed on a DRY MATTER basis (previous years were reported as 13% moisture basis). The analysis was done on seed from all 4 replications from the Gratiot location for the central trial and the Ingham location for the southern trial. Phytophthora Resistance: Information on the presence of Phytophthora resistance genes was provided by the organizations entering varieties. Varieties denoted with:

• 1a are resistant to phytophthora Races 1, 2, 10, 11, 13-20, 24, 26 & 27.

• 1b are resistant to Races 1, 3-9, 13, 15, 18, 21, & 22. • 1c are resistant to Races 1-3, 6-11, 13-15, 17, 21,

23, 24 & 26. • 1k are resistant to Races 1-11, 13-15, 17, 18, 20-24

& 26. • 3 are resistant to Races 1-5, 8 and 9. • 6 are resistant to Races 1-4, 10, 12, 14-16, 18-21 &

25. • 7 are resistant to Races 12, 16, 18 & 19.

Comparing Soybean Varieties Has Never Been Easier!

3 Use the statistical data for validity

Soybean Cyst Nematode Resistance (SCN): Seed companies that screen varieties for SCN resistance have indicated if the variety has known susceptibility or resistance:

• R – Resistant • MR – Moderately Resistant • MS – Moderately Susceptible • S – Susceptible

These notations followed by a number indicate the identified cyst nematode race.

SELECTING A VARIETY

LSD (least significant difference, found at the bottom of each data column) values are useful when comparing two varieties in the same table. If the difference between two varieties is less than the LSD value, this difference is probably due to chance or minor environmental differences. However, if the difference between two varieties is greater than the LSD, there is a 95% or greater probability that the difference in performance is due to the greater yield potential of one variety. Valid comparisons can only be made between averages in the same column. The C.V. (coefficient of variation, found at the bottom of each data column) is indicative of the trial precision. Lower C.V. values indicate more precise trials. The primary consideration in selecting a variety is yield. When evaluating a variety, consider yield performance over locations and across several years, if available. Considerations other than yield are also important in selecting a variety. It is especially important to select a variety that will mature before the first frost in the fall. The degree of lodging varies among varieties. Lodging ratings should be used to evaluate potential harvest losses. Growers who have experienced lodging in the past and have had harvest problems may want to select a more lodging-resistant variety. Alternatively, a variety susceptible to lodging may be planted at a slightly lower population to increase standability. Growers should note seed size when selecting planting rates. Planting rates should be based on number of seeds per acre and not on pounds per acre. It often benefits growers to select a few good varieties for planting each year. Yield determination and careful field evaluation during the growing season will add to the grower’s knowledge of variety performance and allow for better selection.

**Jan and Scott: Article for the blank page. Carry over soybean seed: dead, alive or somewhere between? By: Mark Seamon, Michigan Soybean Promotion Committee Research Coordinator

One of the tales from the 2019 growing season is that some seed did not get planted as planned. Many farms have carried soybean seed over with intentions to plant it in 2020. A few bags or partial boxes of seed have been planted a year after they were purchased with good results, but the quantity of seed, and its value, carried over from 2019 suggests that we manage it more carefully.

The first step in managing this carryover seed is to figure out how much of it is still viable. Not only is it important to determine if it is still live seed, but if it has vigor to make a successful productive soybean plant. While we all hope for ideal conditions at planting, it more likely that the seeds that are put in the ground will need to survive through some challenges. Jim Palmer, Michigan Crop Improvement Association, suggests submitting seed samples for both warm and cold germination tests. “This will gauge seed performance in less than ideal conditions,” Jim shared. These two tests require a two-pound seed sample and about two weeks to analyze.

When sampling carryover seed be sure to take a representative sample. This means taking seed from multiple bags or reaching deeply into seed boxes or tote bags. Samples can be taken anytime, as the biggest changes in seed quality have already happened between when it was harvested, maybe as long as 16 months ago, and now. Keep in mind that this seed was harvested in the fall of 2018, which included some challenging conditions leading to seed quality issues. The quality of seed is at its highest point when it dries down naturally in the pod. After that time it does not improve - the quality only decreases.

A few suggestions for getting the most of carryover soybean seed are: • Know both warm and cold germination rates • Increase planting rate to adjust for decreased germination rate and/or vigor • Plant into good conditions (warm soil, minimum residue) • Handle as little as possible (to avoid seed damage)

Some growers have used a home germination test in wet paper towels to get an idea of seed viability. This should be used at a minimum, as it may only give you best-case scenario results since the seed is germinated indoors in warm conditions.

The fact that the seed is treated is not a good indicator of whether it will perform well a year later than it was intended to be used. Some seed-applied pesticides can negatively affect seed quality after a year of storage while others may improve seed performance. Conversely, untreated seed cannot be assumed to be high quality after being stored for extended periods.

Managing seed quality before planting will help to avoid problems such as a replant situation that would take a couple of weeks after planting to diagnose. There will be enough challenges in profitably producing crops in 2020, so let’s take proactive steps to minimize the negative and maximize the positive.

2019 MICHIGAN SOYBEAN PERFORMANCE

REPORT D. WANG, R.G. LAURENZ, R. STOUTENBURG,

DEPT. OF PLANT SOIL & MICROBIAL SCIENCES This report provides information on the performance of Conventional, Liberty Link, and Roundup Ready soybean varieties in Michigan in 2019. The presentation of data for the entries tested does not suggest approval or endorsement of varieties by Michigan State University. This data is posted at https://varietytrials.msu.edu/.

TESTING PROCEDURES

Eight trials are reported here. The Central locations for the Conventional, Roundup Ready and Liberty Link trials include test sites in Allegan, Gratiot, Saginaw and Sanilac Counties. The Southern locations for the Conventional, Liberty Link and Roundup Ready trials include test sites in Hillsdale, Ingham, Lenawee, and St. Joseph (irrigated) Counties. Twenty-one seed companies entered a total of 194 commercial varieties. There are many new products in the trials this year. Since varieties that contain Enlist and GT27 herbicide resistant traits were deregulated, we were able to include those lines in the trials. The cooperators, planting dates, harvest dates, and other site details for the locations are listed below. Seed was planted in 6-row plots, 20 feet long with 15-inch row spacing, at a depth of 1.5-inches. The planting rate was 160,000 seeds/acre. At each location, varieties were replicated four times in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). All locations were planted to 16 feet with 4 foot alleys that were not trimmed. Only the center four rows were harvested. Experimental design, data management, and data analysis were conducted with AGROBASE Generation II, (Agronomix Software, Inc., Winnipeg, Canada).
