Book Description
Abstract: Planting date plays a significant role in determining soybean growth, development and seed yield. The objectives of this experiment were to evaluate the effects of late planting date, management system, and maturity group on the growth, development and seed yield of maturity group VII and VIII soybean under dry land conditions in the Southeastern coastal plain of the United States. Plant growth and development, seed yield, yield components, and seed oil and protein concentrations were evaluated throughout the season. These experiments were conducted in South Carolina at the Edisto Research and Education Center near Blackville and the Pee Dee Research and Education Center near Florence. Soybean was planted at four weekly intervals starting on 15-June in both 2011 and 2012. Pioneer 97M50 (a MG VII determinate variety) and Prichard Roundup Ready (a MG VIII determinate variety) were selected based on their adaptation to the Southeast. The two management systems were: a strip-till (ST) system using a John Deere MaxEmerge Vaccum planter + Unverferth 300 strip till with 96-cm row spacing and a drilled no-till (NT) planting system with 19-cm row spacing. Plant growth was evaluated based on leaf area index (LAI), Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), and plant height (HT). Plant development was calculated based on the duration (days) of growth stages. Growth stages were recorded weekly from 10 randomly selected plants in each plot. The beginning of each stage was determined when at least 50% of plants were at that stage. Overall, planting after 22 June appeared to reduce seed yield. The ST system increased the seed yield compared to the drilled NT system. Yields were greater for the MG VIII variety than the MG VII variety. LAI, NDVI, and HT at R2 and R4 were generally reduced with delayed planting dates. Later planting shortened the duration of both vegetative and reproductive growth stages for both MG VII and VIII soybeans. Shortened duration of vegetative growth and seed filling period might have contributed most to the lower yields observed in delayed planting dates. Planting date did not affect either protein or oil concentration. Protein concentration in the seed was found to be significantly higher and oil concentration lower in soybean grown in the ST system than in the drilled NT system. Positive correlations were found between: seed yield and LAI, NDVI, and HT at R2 and R4; seed yield and duration of vegetative and seed filling growth period; and seed yield and dry weight of each plant part (branches, stems, petioles, leaves, and pods).

Increasing Yield of Late-planted Soybean Through Management Practices in the Southern Great Plains

Book Description
Increased soybean commodity prices and high-yielding cultivars have instigated producers to expand soybean production outside traditional regions. Introduction of soybean to relatively new areas such as the Southern Great Plains, has created the need for management practices unique to the region to exploit full yield potential in these environments. Oklahoma soybean production, for instance, frequently results in low yields due its adverse environmental conditions, along with common late-plantings, as a double crop following wheat harvest. Due to soybean photoperiod sensitivity, delayed planting leads to a shortened vegetative growth period, which potentially reduces seed yield. The influence of management practices, such as seeding rate, row spacing, maturity group selection, starter and foliar fertilization, irrigation, and the use of long juvenile soybean lines, on late-planted soybean yields has not yet been evaluated in the Southern Great Plains. The objectives of this study are to evaluate the effect of these specific management strategies on late-planted soybean yields and their potential adoption in the Southern Great Plains to minimize yield losses in these late production systems. Four different field studies were established on late plantings in Oklahoma as followed by numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4: 1) Four seeding rates ranging from 198,000 to 383,000 seeds ha-1, three row spacings (19, 38, and 76 cm) and two maturity groups (4.8 and 5.6) under rainfed conditions. Seed yield, plant population, canopy cover, and partial economic return were analyzed. Seed yield was not affected by seeding density, but yield results for 38 and 76 cm row spacings showed slight advantage to 19 cm rows. Partial economic return of 38 and 76 cm rows ranged from 13 to 25% greater than 19 cm row spacing, with the greatest returns at the lowest seeding densities. 2) Three soybean lines from maturity group (MG) 6, 7, and 8 carrying the long juvenile trait (LJ) were compared to three high-yielding varieties from MG 3, 4, and 5, in four planting dates from late-May to late-June. Vegetative growth period, canopy cover, seed yield, and seed quality were evaluated. Long juvenile soybean lines had greater growth but similar yields compared to non LJ varieties, due to the extended growth period overlapping early reproductive stages diminishing seed production potential. 3) Fertilization strategies including two starter and four foliar treatments were compared to a control treatment with no fertilizer applied. Starter or foliar treatments resulted in no seed yield differences compared to control treatment. 4) Soybean from MGs 4.8 and 5.6 were sown in 19 and 76 cm row spacings at three seeding rates (247,000, 346,000, and 445,000 seeds ha-1 were tested under irrigated conditions and seed yield evaluated. Seed yield of late-planted soybean under irrigation was affected only by MG. Seeding rate and row spacing had no effect on yield. Average yield of MG 4.8, across row spacings and years was 2620 kg ha−1, which was 25 % greater than MG 5.6 yield (1980 kg ha−1).

Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences

Book Description
Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and dis seminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the ac tivity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all concerned if the printing and distribution of the volume were handled by an international publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Corporation of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 24 (thesis year 1979) a total of 10,033 theses titles from 26 Canadian and 215 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for theses titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 24 reports these submitted in 1979, on occasion, certain universities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.
