Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] is an important source of health-beneficial compounds, including soyasaponin I. A field study was conducted for 11 yr in Ottawa, ON, Canada, to assess the impacts of temperature and precipitation during specific growth stage intervals on soyasaponin I concentration in three soybean cultivars. Soyasaponin I concentration response to air temperature and precipitation variables were observed at specific growth stage intervals for some cultivars. The response was complex and cultivar specific. Overall, reproductive stages were more responsive and 20 °C appeared to be a critical threshold in determining soybean soyasaponin I concentration response to air temperature.

The effect of selection for high seed protein content on plant development in soybeans (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) was investigated by comparing the lengths of growth stages of four selected populations with those of a nonselected control. Each population, grown at two locations in one season, was a composite of four crosses between G. max and its putative wild ancestor, Glycine soja Sieb. and Zucc. The growth stages were planting to emergence, emergence to flowering and flowering to maturity. The length of each growth stage was measured in soybean development units (SDU) and in days. On average, populations selected for protein alone required more SDUs from planting to emergence and from emergence to flowering and fewer SDUs from flowering to maturity than did the control. The mean temperature in the stage from flowering to maturity was negatively correlated with protein content in all populations. The correlations ranged from −0.22* to −0.34**.

Seven single strains and a commercial mixture of Bradyrhizobium japonicum were evaluated in association with two early-maturing Canadian soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) cultivars, Maple Presto and Maple Amber. Inoculated and uninoculated plants were grown in pails outdoors. Soil temperature at 15 cm depth was monitored throughout the experiment. At the V2, V3, R2 and R4 growth stages, whole plants were removed from the pails. Nodules were counted and weighed; roots and tops were separated, weighed and analyzed for total nitrogen. Bradyrhizobium japonicum strains 61A148, 61A196, 61A194 and 61A155 were similar in effectiveness, but superior to strains 61A124a, 61A118b, 61A101c and the commercial mixture in earliness of nodule formation, number and weight of nodules per plant, and in promoting greater root and top growth and plant nitrogen accumulation. There were indications that soil temperature may have affected nodulation. Maple Amber showed the greater potential for symbiotic nitrogen fixation. This cultivar supported earlier nodulation, had a greater number of nodules, accumulated more nitrogen in the tops and roots and had greater growth than Maple Presto.Key words: Soybean, Glycine max (L.)

Weather and climate have a fundamental impact on plant development. Monitoring key observables, e.g. temperature and precipitation, is paramount for the interpretation of agricultural experiments and simulation of plant development. Whereas the presence of appropriate sensors in a research environment can be expected, the situation can be different in commercial agricultural settings. Local air temperature from online weather forecasts is investigated as a substitute for local weather station data. Hourly air temperature forecast and station data for several locations in Scotland and North East England are aggregated into daily air temperature values spanning a period of several months. Dates for key growth stages using temperatures from weather stations and weather forecast data are compared. For the examples discussed here the date differences in modelled key growth stages did not exceed 3 days indicating that temperature forecast data is suitable for farm-specific applications.

Stem cuttings of Thuja L. × `Green Giant', consisting of 22-cm terminals or 20-cm laterals, were collected on three dates associated with specific growth stages (softwood, semi-hardwood, and hardwood), and treated with indolebutyric acid (IBA) in 50% isopropanol ranging from 0 to 9000 ppm and placed under intermittent mist. Regardless of cutting type or auxin treatment, cuttings rooted in high percentages at each growth stage. Overall rooting was highest for hardwood cuttings (96%) followed by semi-hardwood (86%), and softwood (85%) cuttings. Semi-hardwood cuttings were the only cuttings in which rooting was affected by IBA or cutting type with the greatest rooting (94%) attained using lateral cuttings treated with 6000 or 9000 ppm IBA. Although an interaction occurred between IBA treatment and cutting type for mean root length of hardwood cuttings, only mean root length of semi-hardwood cuttings was influenced by IBA concentration alone with the greatest length (25 mm) achieved with 6000 ppm IBA. An interaction was noted for root count between cutting type and IBA concentrations for softwood cuttings, whereas IBA and cutting type affected independently root count on semi-hardwood cuttings. Treatment with 9000 ppm IBA resulted in 18 roots per rooted cutting whereas lateral cuttings responded with a mean of 16 roots over all IBA concentrations. Root count on hardwood cuttings was affected by IBA treatment only, with 9000 ppm being optimum (14 roots per rooted cutting).

Ten lines of forage soybean [Glycine max L. (Merr.)] were evaluated using two planting dates (PD) in September and January; and two crop harvest physiological stages (CHPS), R2 (full bloom) and R5.4 (most pods 51 to 75% full), a total area of 496 m2 with an Oxisol soil, under conditions of temperature and precipitation not limiting crop growth. The experimental design was one of split plots in randomized complete blocks, PD constituting the complete plots, CHPS the subplots, and soybean lines the sub-subplots. Dry matter yields (DMY) were higher (P menor que 0.01) for R5.4 than R2 (6,452 vs. 5,436 kg/ha), fluctuated (P menor que 0.058) from 5,300 to 6,573 kg/ha among the soybean lines and did not differ between the two PD. Plant populations were about 260,000 kg/ha and were not affected by the three principal factors. Plant height varied (P menor que 0.01) from 84.2 to 93.2 cm among the soybean lines; differed (P menor que 0.05) between the two PD (89.2 cm, September vs. 87.5 cm, January) and (P menor que 0.01) between the two CHPS (72.4 cm, R2 vs. 104.3 cm, R5.4); and was also affected by all of the double and the triple interactions of the three factors. The proportion of leaf in the total DM favored (P menor que 0.01) R2 over R5.4 (44.1 vs. 41.1%) and involved an interaction (P menor que 0.05) of CHPS x soybean line. Regarding the chemical composition of the forage, crude protein (CP) varied among the soybean lines (P menor que 0.05) and between the CHPS (P menor que 0.01) and was affected (P menor que 0.01) by an interaction of these two factors (29.6 to 33.6, R2 and 23.1 to 26.7, R5.4). Acid detergent fiber (ADF) behaved like a CP with respect to significance of the independent variables (21.0 to 25.6, R2 and 26.2 to 33.3, R5.4); whereas neutral detergent fiber (NDF) did not differ among soybean lines, but was higher (P menor que 0.01) for R5.4 than for R2 (41.0 vs. 33.5), and involved an interaction (P menor que 0.01) of CHPS x soybean line. It is concluded that, according to both agronomic characteristics and chemical composition, all the soybean lines evaluated performed adequately, but SF-6, SF-24, SF-50, SF-88 and SF-110 outperformed SF-1, SF-2, SF-22, SF-57 and SF-72; harvest at the R5.4 stage was advantageous in achieving greater DMY without unduly sacrificing the excellent chemical composition of R2 forage; and the magnitude of PD effects was not large.

The performance of BAS 9052 {2-[1-(ethoxyimino)-butyl]-5-[2-(ethylthio)-propyl]-3-hydroxy-2-cyclohexen-1-one} was evaluated when applied postemergence to rhizome and seedling johnsongrass [Sorghum halepense(L.) Pers. # SORHA] in soybeans [Glycine max(L.) Merr. ‘Bragg’ and ‘Centennial’] when the soybeans had four or five trifoliate leaves (V3 to V4 stages) or when they had six to eight trifoliate leaves (V5 to V7 growth stages). The degree of weed control was more strongly associated with rainfall conditions than with the size of the johnsongrass. An exponential equation was used to describe the relationship of soybean seed yield to BAS 9052 rate. BAS 9052 applications of 0.28 kg ai/ha provided an estimated 98% of the potential soybean yield increase when rainfall was adequate but, 0.41 kg ai/ha was required when the plants were grown under moisture stress. Soybean yields were increased by 260 kg/ha when BAS 9052 was applied at the V3 to V4 compared to the V5 to V7 growth stage.

The plant pathogenic fungusColletotrichum coccodes(Cc) and the plant growth regulator thidiazuron (TDZ) were evaluated in Maryland and Quebec for velvetleaf control in ‘Williams' and ‘Maple Arrow’ soybean. TDZ was applied at 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, and 0.4 kg ai/ha alone or was combined with Cc at 109spores/m2when velvetleaf was at the 1- to 2-leaf (Trial 1) or 4- to 6-leaf (Trial 2) growth stages. Velvetleaf control increased with TDZ rate, and TDZ combined with Cc further increased control. TDZ reduced velvetleaf biomass and height, and Cc increased velvetleaf mortality. In Quebec, Cc also reduced the biomass of velvetleaf treated in Trial 1 and interacted positively with TDZ at this growth stage. Cc nearly halved the rates of TDZ required for 90 and 75% mortality of velvetleaf treated at the 1- to 2-leaf and 4- to 6-leaf stages to 0.09 and 0.12 kg/ha, respectively, in Quebec. Cc similarly lowered the rate of TDZ required for 75% stand reduction of velvetleaf in Trial 1 to 0.17 kg/ha in Maryland. Cool wet weather in Quebec contrasted with warm, dry weather in Maryland. Soybean biomass and yield were increased significantly by treatment with TDZ plus Cc in Trial 1 at both locations.
