Changing Perspectives in Soybean Seed Treatment Heartland Coop & Syngenta

Historically, Use of Soybean Seed Treatment Has Been Low Relative to Other Crops

ASTA-SOY-LZ.PPT [Z:\MATTHEWS] 2

The Primary Use of Seed Treatments Has Been to Provide an Inexpensive Insurance Against Seed Rots and Damping Off Caused by Soil Fungi

ASTA-SOY-LZ.PPT [Z:\MATTHEWS] 3

Current issues in soybeans vs. 1990 ‹No-till

or minimum-till acres increasing – cooler soil conditions, more residue for diseases

‹Earlier

planting – cooler conditions, seedling in soil for longer periods of time, putting seedling to the test for emergence ‹Technology

Fees – higher seed cost per acre, higher costs to

replant ‹New

races of Phytophthora – genetics don’t offer resistance for all races

ASTA-SOY-LZ.PPT [Z:\MATTHEWS] 4

Have you ever planted seed corn WITHOUT a fungicide seed treatment? Have you ever planted soybeans WITH a fungicide seed treatment?

Why Growers want Treated Soybeans ‹ Yield Protection ‹ Allow for earlier planting ‹ Disease protection ‹ Conservation tillage ‹ Improve germination ‹ Improve early season vigor ‹ Earlier canopy – better weed control ‹ Protect high value seed ‹ Avoid replanting costs ‹ Excellent return on investment ‹ Protect against adverse weather & growing

Optimum Soil Temperature for Disease Development ‹Pythium

50-60 degrees F - early planting, no-till, cool weather conditions after planting

‹Phytophthora

72-80 F – warmer soil and heavier soil conditions with poor drainage

‹Rhizoctonia ‹Fusarium

70-80 F – warmer soil, wet or dry

60 F – cooler soil

‹What

is the probability that you will plant soybeans in soil temperatures between 50 and 80 degrees F?

‹Do

you know what the soil conditions will be between the time you plant and when the soybean seedling emerges? ASTA-SOY-LZ.PPT [Z:\MATTHEWS] 10

The longer the seed stays in soil, there is a higher probability of interacting with a seed-borne or soil-borne disease.
