«Look back at US soybeans shows genetic improvement behind increased yields.»

In a new study that traces the genetic changes in varieties over the last 80 years of soybean breeding, researchers concluded that increases in yield gains and an increased rate of gains over the years are largely due to the continual release of greater - yielding cultivars by breeders.

Average yields of grain corn and soybeans were highly correlated (R2 = 0.86 and 0.74, respectively) with average available crop heat units (CHU), with yields increasing by about 0.006 t ha - 1 CHU - 1 for corn and 0.0013 t ha - 1 CHU - 1 forsoybeans.

Springtime cold air outbreaks (at least two consecutive days during which the daily average surface air temperature is below 95 % of the simulated average wintertime surface air temperature) are projected to continue to occur throughout this century.19 As a result, increased productivity of some crops due to higher temperatures, longer growing seasons, and elevated CO2 concentrations could be offset by increased freeze damage.20 Heat waves during pollination of field crops such as corn and soybean also reduce yields (Figure 18.3).4 Wetter springs may reduce crop yields and profits, 21 especially if growers are forced to switch to late - planted, shorter - season varieties.

For corn, small long - term average temperature increases will shorten the duration of reproductive development, leading to yield declines, 4 even when offset by carbon dioxide (CO2) stimulation.5, 6 For soybeans, yields have a two in three chance of increasing early in this century due to CO2 fertilization, but these increases are projected to be offset later in the century by higher temperature stress7 (see Figure 18.2 for projections of increases in the frost - free season length and the number of summer days with temperatures over 95 °F).

World soybean production has more than doubled in the past 20 years, and while some of this increased demand has been met by improvements in yield, much of it has come from expanding soybean cultivation into new areas — such as tropical forests in the Amazon region.

«The above findings reveal that soybean yields will increase in the future in response to benefits provided by rising atmospheric CO2.

Elevated CO2 increases nitrogen fixation at the reproductive phase contributing to various yield responses of soybean cultivars.
