Choosing the Right Soybean Varieties for Your Farm

Matching the right soybean variety to your conditions is the key to maximizing yields. Here are some ‘friendly reminders’ for choosing varieties that are right for your farm.

Maturity. Early maturing varieties will be ready to harvest sooner, but you’re probably sacrificing yield. Plant the longest maturity for your area to achieve the highest yield potential. Three different maturities give you a good barometer for yields on your farm.
Iron Deficiency. High pH soils (7.2 or more) have a tendency for IDC, so choose a variety that has higher IDC tolerance. Soils that have soluble salt levels of more than 0.8 mmhos/cm and calcium carbonate levels of 5% or greater will very likely foster IDC.
Plant Structure. If you plant in 15” rows or drill your beans choose a semi-bush variety. When planting in 30” rows choose a bush variety so plants will spread out and canopy to preserve moisture and help control weeds.
Plant Height. Taller beans typically place pods slightly higher above the ground level. Tall varieties may have a tendency for lodging in high fertility soils. Medium or medium tall varieties can be drilled or planted in rows. Adjust population based on plant density: slightly higher as row width becomes narrower.
Disease tolerance. White mold and phytophthora can be a problem if cool, moist conditions persist during August and early September. Once you’ve had these diseases, the problem can persist in the soil for several years, so plant a tolerant variety.
Traits. Dahlman has a good selection of Roundup Ready® soybeans in several maturities. The new Genuity® beans have shown higher yields in test plots, and 2009 yields will be the first true test on full fields. Yields on Liberty beans are very competitive to RR beans.
