2002 Evaluation of Soybean Varieties for Symptoms of Iron
Chlorosis
|
During 2002 the University of Minnesota, Department of Agronomy and Plant Genetics, Soybean Breeding and Genetics Project conducted Iron Chlorosis Evaluations at 2 sites with high pH soils near Breckenridge and Granite Falls in western Minnesota. The Breckenridge site was planted June 5 and the observations for chlorosis were made on July 18 and on August 15. Granite Falls was planted on June 6 and the observations were made on July 5 and August 15. The experimental design was 3 replications of each variety in randomized complete blocks. Iron chlorosis scores range from, 1 = no chlorosis to 5 = severe chlorosis. The varieties Dawson and Corsoy 79 are used throughout these trials as standards or checks to gauge the level of chlorosis and also the repeatability of the scores. Data presented in tables, 1-4, estimate iron chlorosis tolerance based on visual scoring of southern, central and northern Minnesota adapted varieties, as well as of special use varieties. Iron chlorosis symptoms on both dates at Breckenridge and date two at Granite Falls were too severe to be informative. Chlorosis scores presented here from the first observation at Granite Falls are more useful in separating varieties in their tolerance to iron chlorosis The University of Minnesota is an equal opportunity
