Description
Summary:(In this three-part series, Syngenta global head of soybean breeding Joseph Byrum shares the results of a big data analysis of more than 400 research experiments on plant populations and soybean yields, published in scientific journals. While looking at these factors in isolation is good for understanding the biological causes underlying soybean plant population needs, these factors are never seen in isolation in the real world. Alter varietal maturity We can also draw some practical advice for economizing from these results. Since more than one maturity group can work in a given location, growers can consider adjusting the maturity group selection to the longest group adapted for the location. [...]there's a financial reason to consider precision soy strategies that bring plant populations down without sacrificing yield. Joseph Byrum is Senior R&D and Strategic Marketing Executive in Life Sciences - Global Product Development, Innovation and Delivery at Syngenta.
