Genetic Improvement Led To Increased Yields Of Soybeans

Soybeans are a tremendously successful crop and a new study that traced the genetic changes in varieties over the last 80 years of soybean breeding found 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.   Some are concerned that converging on optimal crops for each region might be a bad thing but plentiful food tells a different story. read more
