Peterson Farms Seed Research Director Dennis Schultze is exploring more accurate and reliable scoring methods for soybean defense against iron deficiency chlorosis. Variety scoring is happening right now and Schultze says it is a complex process. “There have been many new herbicides type of soybeans introduced recently. In addition to them being new, the iron chlorosis scoring we’re seeing on a few of them could be problematic. We’re working really hard to clarify the varieties we sell.” The goal of the research is to help local farmers better understand performance as they make seed decisions for next year. Data from the research will be available at the Peterson Farms Seed Field Day. Hear the story.
