New soybean developed
By Gene Gentrej)
Daily Nebrsstua Senior Eepoitfr
NU researchers are developing
a new type of soybean that could
extend Nebraska soybean farm
ing 50 miles farther west.
James Specht, associate profes
sor of agronomy at UNL, said
research continues on develop
ing a soybean capable of with-.
standing the hot, arid growing
conditions of western Nebraska.
Nebraska soybean acres extend
from the Missouri River to just
east cf North Pktte.
Specht said the more stress"
tolerant soybean is undergoing,
the practical aspects of the dev
eloping ste. He said research
on the new jgpybean began la
1979 when he and UNL clixnstol
ogist Blaine Blad sought to in
crease the soybean's "plant hairi
ness." The increased hairiness is
founded on most desert plants,
he said, and is needed so the
plant can reflect more Lht and
use less water. This makes the
plant more tolerant of hot, arid
growing conditions.
Specht's soybean research was
the topic of a paper he presented
at the Third World Soybean Re
search Conference. Specht co
authored the paper with UNL
agronomy professor James Willi
ams. Scientists from more than
40 nations gathered at Iowa State
University in Ames, Iowa, Aug.1 2
through 17 for the conference. '
Specht said the U.S. Depart
ment of Agriculture approved
threeyears ago $108,000 for fund
ing ofthe research project, but all
funds have been spent
Although prospects for the new
soybean look good, Specht said
now that the basic research has
been applied, the "practical re
search" has yet to be done.
The "practical research," Specht
said, includes finding the right
combination of genes to overcome
new-found complications in the
testing plant.
"Right now, because the hairier
soybean traps water., the- leaves
become top heavy, thus hurting
the yield," he said.
Specht said the soybean re
search now will focus on develop
ing a plant that is shorter and
more vigorous. .
Specht said it is difficult to say
how much of ah impact the new
soybean will make, t ut because of
a higher demand for soybeans
from foreign food-processing
nations, increased soybean pro
duction could be raised "fairly
high" in the years to come.
