Large populations of the nematode in the soil can severly stunt soybean plants and reduce seed yields. Yale is a new soybean variety that is resistant to strains of the soybean cyst nematode that are found in Indiana soils. This variety was developed by scientists at the University of Illinois and tested in Indiana as well as in other states. Previously released cyst nematode resistant varieties tend to fall down or lodge as the plants mature, interfering with harvest. Yale is very resistant to lodging and is equal in yield potential to currently grown varieties. Indiana farmers will be able to produce soybean on cyst nematode infested soils without any loss in seed yield by growing this resistant variety. Technical Abstract: Yale is a new maturity Group III soybean variety that is resistant to the soybean cyst neamatode and has both good yield potential and good lodging resistance. This variety was developed at the University of Illinois and is being released cooperatively in Indiana. Yale is recommended for production in those areas where soybean cyst nematode infestations have reduced seed yields. |
