Growth Habit: D = Determinate I = Indeterminate Plant Height: S = Short, MS = Medium-Short M = Medium MT = Medium-Tall T = Tall Excluder products partition chloride in the root systems and reduce the amount transported to more sensitive above-ground tissue. = ExcluderĮxcluder products have increased tolerance to elevated soil chloride levels compared to includers. Southern Root Knot: R = Resistant MR = Moderately Resistant MS = Moderately Susceptible S = SusceptibleĬhloride Sensitivity: Inc. Scores represent relative levels of tolerance to the disease, as outlined below. White mold, caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, is a soybean disease for which there is currently no know form of complete genetic resistance. Phytophthora field tolerance scores indicate the following levels of tolerance: 7 = Poor Reaction to Phytophthora sojae Race 17 and/or Race 30 for products with Rps2, Rps3a and Rps6. Reaction to Phytophthora sojae Race 25 for products with Rps1a, Rps1c, Rps1k and Rps7. Phytophthora field tolerance scores represent relative responses to the following races of Phytophthora sojae. Phytophthora field tolerance is a form of partial genetic resistance whereby the plant can maintain some level of productivity while infected with the pathogen. HERBICIDE TOLERANT TRAITS: CONV = CONVENTIONAL RR2Y = ROUNDUP READY 2 YIELD® SR = SULFONYLUREA READY (TOLERANCE TO SULFONYLUREA-BASED HERBICIDES) The Race 3 population used in our evaluations would be equivalent to “HG Type 0” and the Race 14 population would be equivalent to “HG Type 1.3” under the direction of the paper. Soybean Cyst Nematode: R = Resistant MR = Moderately Resistant MR/MS = Moderately Resistant to Moderately Susceptible S - Susceptible # = Race 1, 3, 5, 9 or 14Ī recent publication suggests that soybean cyst nematode populations should be described by a different method called HG type, instead of races. For white mold and Phytophthora Field Tolerance, see specific rating scales on this page. Several lawsuits have been filed opposing USDA’s move and a judge in Wisconsin ordered the agency to halt any payments to producers.Rating Scale: 1 = Excellent 9 = Poor - = NoneĪ rating of “ 1 ” in standability is a soybean product with excellent standability.Ī rating of “ 1 ” in brown stem rot is a product with excellent tolerance to brown stem rot. The American Rescue Plan Act provides funding for USDA’s Farm Service Agency to pay 120 percent of direct and guaranteed outstanding loan balances. He questioned where farmers were over the last century when “their Black counterparts were being discriminated against and didn’t hear a peep from white farmers how unfortunate that circumstance was.” In recent remarks at the BIO online convention, Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack criticized farmers who are suing over minority debt relief payments to socially disadvantaged producers that address previous discrimination. The Notice will be available for public input until Jand is available online through the Federal Register. USDA will provide the findings to the Racial Equity Commission, which will launch later this year.
USDA says the information will address systemic inequities and determine ways to engage stakeholders and community members. The agency says information gained from public listening sessions will help identify ‘barriers that people of color, underserved communities and others may face’ when accessing USDA programs and services. The USDA is seeking public input to help advance racial equity across the department.
