A new tool to manage soybean cyst nematodes has emerged but it needs to be used responsibly. It’s the Peking trait being bred into more and more of our soybean seed varieties. Yet there’s a cautionary tale involved, to not become too reliant of Peking. Just like herbicide resistant weeds have adapted and now some […]

Which corn/soybean mix should I plant? Which genetics should I pick? Which traits should I select? Which maturities should I plant? And on and on and on. These choices are crucial. “For the most part, 75% of the decisions that determine crop yield potential are already defined before the planter leaves the field,” says Travis Kriegshauser, Syngenta strategic soybean ma...
