Acceleron Seed Treatment system is a seed coating that protects from insects as well as mold, mildew, and disease. It was developed and patented by Monsanto . The Acceleron Seed Treatment System is available for Genuity Roundup Ready 2 yield soybeans and Smartstax seeds.
Bean leaf beetle abundance increased with the increase of soybean production in the 20th century, but their spread northward was prevented by the inhospitality of northern climates. [ 3 ] The availability of soybean is the primary constraint for the beetles, so the beetles can’t live in an area that doesn’t have soybeans. [ 3 ]
The bean weevils or seed beetles are a subfamily (Bruchinae) of beetles, now placed in the family Chrysomelidae, though they have historically been treated as a separate family. They are granivores, and typically infest various kinds of seeds or beans, living most of their lives inside a single seed. The subfamily includes about 1,650 species ...
The soybean aphid (Aphis glycines) is an insect pest of soybean (Glycine max) that is exotic to North America. [1] The soybean aphid is native to Asia. [2] It has been described as a common pest of soybeans in China [3] and as an occasional pest of soybeans in Indonesia, [4] Japan, [5] Korea, [6] Malaysia, [2] the Philippines, [7] and Thailand. [8]
May 17—New Mexico has had many invaders over the centuries, large, medium and small. The latest is in the latter group: It's a dark, half-inch-long insect with red markings on its belly, known ...
Seed enhancement is a range of treatments of seeds that improves their performance after harvesting and conditioned, but before they are sown. They include priming, steeping, hardening, pregermination, pelleting, encrusting, film-coating, tagging and others, but excludes treatments for control of seed born pathogens .
In 1999, a review of Roundup Ready soybean crops found that, compared to the top conventional varieties, they had a 6.7% lower yield. [9] This so called "yield drag" follows the same pattern observed when other traits are introduced into soybeans by conventional breeding. [ 17 ]
Thiram was therefore developed as a seed treatment in the 1940s to extend the spectrum of diseases that could be controlled. [6] In 1949 ICI commercialised a seed treatment with trade name Mergamma A, containing 1% mercury and 20% lindane, an early example of a product designed to protect the seed from both fungal and insect attack.
