Soybeans are the most genetically modified crop in the world. 40 million tonnes of soy material has been used has been imported in 2007 by the EU states.

With the modification of the soybean by Monsanto‚ it is now possible for the crop to survive when herbicides are sprayed over it. The herbicide that the soybeans are resistant to is Roundup‚ so farmers do not have to worry about their soybeans dying to the herbicide. I believe that the negative effects of modified soybeans so not outweigh the benefits because genetically modified soybeans so not increase the production

Weed Management in Soybeans Weed management is one of the most important and sometimes one of the most expensive components of a soybean production program. Herbicides are a necessity in profitable soybean production. They are‚ however‚ only one component of a weed management program. Weed management is most successful when crop rotation‚ crop competition‚ cultivation‚ and judicious herbicide use are combined in a planned and coordinated program. Herbicides should be used only as needed and

EFFECT OF THE SYMBIOTIC NITROGEN FIXATION ON SOYBEAN INTRODUCTION Legume plants receive nitrogen from Rhizobium which makes them possible to grow in nitrogen poor soil. In return‚ legume plants supply Rhizobium with carbohydrate‚ which is energy. This process is called nitrogen fixation‚ also known as the symbiosis of legume and Rizobium. However‚ it would be inefficient for plants in nitrogen rich soil to transfer their energy to Rhizobium in exchange of nitrogen when sufficient amount of

During World War II the price of all commodities worldwide skyrocketed. The most important factor in the soybean’s early rise to prominence was the shortage of fats and oils that was created by World War II and the need for renewable domestic alternatives.
