Environmental Stress and Yield Accrual in Soybean
A commonly repeated fallacy is that soybeans ‘like a little stress.’ While it certainly is true that soybean is highly tolerant to many types of stresses early in development, there are few cases where stress can help a soybean in any way. In addition, stresses are not created equal. The type, timing, and duration of stress has a huge impact on soybean growth development and yield. Here we will examine a current study on timing of stress during seed fill and will take a deep dive into interactions between water stress and tillage.
Speaker
Seth Naeve
Dr. Seth Naeve is a Soybean Agronomist with the University of Minnesota and is a Professor in the Department of Agronomy and Plant Genetics. His effort is split between a soybean production/physiology research project and his soybean extension activities.
Dr. Naeve’s research program focuses on development of novel strategies for the efficient production of high quality soybean. His research effort is split between analyzing genetic, environmental, and cultural effects on soybean seed quality (oil, protein, fatty acid, amino acid, and carbohydrate composition) and researching management strategies to maximize production efficiencies.
Seth was raised on a corn and soybean farm in Northern Iowa, and received his Bachelor's degree in Biology and PhD in Agronomy (Crop Production and Physiology) from Iowa State University.
