Despite extensive research and advances in genetics and genetic engineering leading to the development of high-yielding soybean varieties worldwide, the rate of soybean yield increase in the US has been slow, not commensurate with inflation, resulting in reduced profitability compared to a decade ago.
One contributing factor to this phenomenon may be attributed to aggressive marketing strategies by major input suppliers. Moreover, a reluctance to explore innovative means and methods beyond existing approaches has led to a plateau in soybean yield potential, despite continuous efforts.
Soyabean yield is widely recognized to be directly correlated with key parameters such as the number of pods per plant, the number of seeds per pod, and seed weight. Enhancing these fundamental factors holds the potential to significantly improve soybean yield, assuming other variables like variety, nutrition, soil, and weather remain constant.
To address the challenges associated with soybean cultivation and revitalize profitability, a strategic and forward-thinking approach is needed. Encouraging innovation, adopting advanced technologies, and fostering collaboration among stakeholders are essential strategies to overcome existing yield limitations in soybean cultivation in the US.
Hi Cell has conducted extensive research on addressing the issue of flower drop in legumes, with a specific focus on soybeans. The phenomenon of prolific flowering, followed by significant flower drop, is a common challenge in legume cultivation. This drop can be attributed to various factors, including both biotic elements such as diseases and pests, and abiotic factors like inadequate moisture, nutrient supply, adverse climate conditions, insufficient root development, and competition.
In response to these challenges, Hi Cell has developed” Hi Cell Incrementum”. This product is formulated to induce and retain flowering in a wide range of plants, including soybeans. Through our research, we have observed a substantial increase in the number of retained flowers, resulting in a remarkable yield improvement of 20-40% over control, irrespective of the plant variety and geographical location.
Hi Cell Incrementum addresses both biotic and abiotic factors, contributing to enhanced flower retention and ultimately higher yields. The product’s efficacy has been demonstrated across various conditions, showcasing its potential impact on agricultural productivity. Further details regarding the specific mechanisms and performance data under diverse conditions are available upon request.
We are confident that Hi Cell Incrementum represents a valuable solution for farmers seeking to optimize crop yields and mitigate the challenges associated with flower drop in legumes, particularly soyabeans.
STAGE R1-R2 : Maximizing soybean yield potential necessitates meticulous control over flowering stages, particularly R1-R2, governing flower initiation, pollination, retention, and abscission. Numerous formulations, both hormonal and nonhormonal, have been developed to enhance flower initiation, with a primary focus on mitigating the abscission of unpollinated flowers and optimizing pod retention post-pollination.
Hi Cell Incrementum is a precision-designed solution expressly designed for this purpose. Tailored to enhance pod retention in diverse legume crops, it significantly amplifies the yield potential of soybean phenotypes. By precisely modulating flower initiation, pollination, and retention processes, Hi Cell Incrementum plays a pivotal role in elevating soybean production.
For optimal efficacy, Hi Cell Incrementum is recommended to be applied at a rate of 30-40 ounces per 100 gallons or through an ultra-fine spray at the R1 stage. This targeted application fosters prolific flowering in soybeans while ensuring the sustained retention of pollinated flowers and subsequent pod development. Strategically integrating Hi Cell Incrementum into soybean cultivation practices offers a sophisticated approach to optimizing yield potential, making it an invaluable asset for soybean producers aiming for peak crop performance
STAGE R3- R4 : Pod formation in soybeans, specifically during the R3-R4 stages, represents a pivotal phase wherein immature pods serve as essential nutrient sinks, channeling resources from leaves for optimal development. However, the intricate process is susceptible to disruption by various biotic and abiotic stresses, leading to compromised nutrient flow, inadequate pod development, and suboptimal soybean seed yield.
During the critical R3-R4 stages, growers are advised to ensure meticulous management of nutrient availability to support the nourishment of the additional pods. The incorporation of Hi Cell Incrementum at this juncture aligns with best agricultural practices, enabling growers to proactively enhance nutrient flow to developing pods, ultimately optimizing pod retention and elevating soybean seed yields. This targeted and informed approach underscores the role of Hi Cell Incrementum in precision agriculture during key growth stages of soybean cultivation.
To address this challenge with precision, a secondary application of Hi Cell Incrementum is recommended, administered at a precise rate of 30-40 ounces per 100 gallons 7-10 day after first application. This strategic application aims to rectify the disruption in nutrient flow to the pods, thereby fostering the retention of a greater number of pods, each harboring 2-3 seeds.
STAGES R5-R6 :The determination of soybean yield is heavily contingent on seed weight, and any disruption in the supply of carbohydrates and nutrients to developing seeds within the pods can result in the production of suboptimal-sized seeds. To address this crucial aspect of seed development, a precise application of “Hi Cell Laetus” at a recommended @ 30-40 ounces per 100 gallons is strongly advised.
Hi Cell Laetus functions as a targeted solution, delivering the necessary final boost to the plant to expedite the developmentgreater number of large-sized seeds within the pods. This application is meticulously formulated to optimize the seed formation process, ensuring the production of seeds with optimal weight and contributing to an overall augmentation in soybean yield.
By strategically integrating Hi Cell Laetus at the appropriate stage, growers can enhance seed development in alignment with best agricultural practices, ultimately maximizing soybean yields.
SUDDEN FLOWER /PODS DROP :The premature dropping of soybean flowers/ pods during the maturation stage can be attributed to multifaceted factors, including nutritional inadequacies, abrupt temperature fluctuations, and variety-specific deficiencies. To address these challenges and mitigate the risk of pod loss, it is recommended to apply Hi Cell Renova at a precise rate of 30 ounces per 100 gallons of water.
Hi Cell Renova is a targeted solution meticulously formulated to address the underlying causes of pod dropping in soybeans. This application is engineered to enhance the plant’s resilience against factors such as nutritional deficiencies and abrupt environmental changes, thereby promoting pod retention and contributing to an overall enhancement in soybean yield.
By incorporating Hi Cell Renova, growers can proactively manage potential factors leading to pod dropping, adhering to best agricultural practices for soybean cultivation. This focused and informed approach underscores the specific role of Hi Cell Renova in supporting the critical stage of pod maturity in soybean yield.
