North Dakota Soybean Council
Top Things for Farmers to Know About Checkoff Dollars Invested in Research
North Dakota Soybean Council (NDSC) addresses soybean production issues through research investments to bring short-term and long-term value to North Dakota soybean farmers. The NDSC also invests in Soybean New Uses Research to increase the demand for Soybeans. Our mission is to strategically invest research dollars to secure a more profitable future for North Dakota soybean producers.
- Breeding, evaluation and maintenance of core germplasm
- Modern breeding methodologies to expediate elite variety release
- Integrated pest management research to reduce the impact of diseases, insects and weeds on soybean yield and quality
- Increasing soybean resistance to diseases
- Determining Soybean Inoculation Strategies
- Reducing Iron-deficiency Chlorosis in soybeans
- Enhancing profitability of soybean production through soil health and cover crop research
- Enhancing Profitability of Soybean Production and Soil Health through Livestock Integration
- Control of SCN, white mold and sudden death syndrome
- Sustainable soybean production practices including cover crops
- Management of invasive and noxious herbicide-resistant weeds
- Management of soybean insects: soybean aphids, gall midge, and soybean leaf beetle and grasshopper
- Soybean harvest and storage management
- Exploring new uses for soybeans for new markets
- Investigating Soybean Seed Treatments and Their Integration into Cropping Systems for Management of Soybean Seedling Diseases
- Integrating drone imagery and a self-propelled sprayer to implement site specific weed control in soybeans
- Managing soybean inoculation in western North Dakota acidic soils
- Investigating Oomycete Populations Across North Dakota Soybean Production Systems
- Enhancing Diagnostic Capabilities for Soybean Root and Stem Rot Diseases
- Sampling Program to Screen for Herbicide Resistance in North Dakota Weeds
- Maximizing kochia control with Liberty and Enlist One using different sprayer travel speeds and spray droplet sizes
- Monitoring Virulence Changing of Soybean Cyst Nematode Populations and Assessing Soybean Breeding Lines for Their Resistance
North Dakota is home to the SCN Coalition, the national organization working together to combat the soybean cyst nematode. Advancements on how to mitigate SCN have been made through this organization including state-specific recommendations. Plant breeders across the country are currently working on new cultivars with SCN resistance.
