Tofu Soybean Seed Varieties

Ohio FG1 was developed from the soybean breeding program of the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center of The Ohio State University, and funded with checkoff dollars from the Ohio Soybean Council. Plant Breeders have released this variety based on its large seed size and high yield in relation to current food-grade cultivars.

Proven Yield Performance:

*CONVENTIONAL PRODUCTION PRACTICES FOR PRODUCING
HIGH QUALITY OHIO FG1 SOYBEANS

(*OSIA Member Survey)

  1. Plant Certified Seed.
  2. Plant food grade production on rotated ground following a corn, hay, or cereal grain rotation.
  3. Level ground ahead of planting to facilitate combine header height control at harvest. This      minimizes dirt stained soybeans.
  4. Seeding rate varies from 90 to 100 pounds per acre for 1,900 seeds per pound. Target        population is 140,000 to 200,000 seeds per acre. Operators should pay close attention to    drill cups and the seed hopper opening setting depending on seed count.
  5. Planting depths should be 1 to 1 1/2 inches deep depending on soil moisture.
  6. Plan on rotary hoeing fields once following planting.
  7. Achieve weed control to avoid weed stained soybeans at harvest.
  8. Clean conveying and harvesting equipment, and storage bins to maintain varietal purity and     identity. Start harvest at 17% moisture.
  9. Recommended combine cylinder speed: 200-350 RPM. For large seed use wider concave    clearance setting.
  10. Recommended rotary combine speed: 300-450 RPM. Check sieve openings and adjust for   large bean size.
  11. Use bean ladders in bins to reduce damage when loading food grade soybeans into storage    bins.
  12. Handle the grain gently by running augers full and at slower speeds to reduce mechanical       damage.
  13. Recommended storage moisture is 13 1/2%. Aerate following harvest to remove field heat. Aerate periodically to maintain safe storage moisture. Avoid artificial drying and high             temperature heat!

*ORGANIC PRODUCTION SUGGESTIONS
FOR OHIO FG1 SOYBEANS

(*OCIA-OH-Chap.2 -Survey)

  1. Comply with all organic standards and regulations.
  2. Use a rotation such as corn, soybeans, interseeded cover crop, small grains and forage          legumes.
  3. Preparation for soybeans begins in the fall with shredding of corn crop residue and use of an   offset disk. Shallow spring plowing is another option. Winter rye or wheat is often used as a   cover crop.
  4. Fit ground 2 to 3 times in spring every 10 days with offset disc or field cultivator to eliminate   weeds.
  5. Set planter for 15" rows with skip rows for wheels of tractor/cultivator. Another option is 30  inch row width or use of drill.
  6. Plant soybeans in late May or after June 1st and plant seed shallow and into moisture for       quick emergence.
  7. Rotary hoe fields 2 or 3 times at critical stage of weed development for control. First pass     occurs within four days of  planting to wipe out the first crop of weed seedlings.
  8. Cultivate wide rows 2 to 3 times after soybeans have emerged.
  9. For weed control use close crop cultivator with finger attachments that stir soil between the  plants. Flame or electric weed control devices are also available.
  10. Hand weed control patches of Giant Ragweed, Jimson, Pokeberry and Nightshade weeds.

WYANDOT

WYANDOT (formerly HF02-0005 and OHS 201) is a 2006 release of the Ohio State University (OSU). This variety has a very good yield record and serves as a replacement for Sandusky. The lack of hilum pigments make Wyandot acceptable for the soy food market along with is high yield potential. Resistance to Phytophthora is realized with the presence of the Rps3a gene. This 2.9 maturity variety has white flowers, gray pubescence, brown pods and yellow (clear) hila. Wyandot has a variant for 0.5% other hila colors. Recognized classes are F, R and C.

WYANDOT 14

WYANDOT 14 is a 2012 release of the Ohio State University (OSU). This variety has a very good yield record and serves as a replacement for Wyandot. Resistance to Phytophthora is realized with the presence of the Rps3a gene. This 2.9 maturity variety has white flowers, gray pubescence, brown pods and yellow (clear) hila. Wyandot 14 is specially adapted to the northern half of Ohio soybean growing regions, where soybean aphid and powdery mildew are likely pests. In six different yield environments over a three year period Wyandot 14 had higher or equal seed yields compared to Wyandot. Seed size, seed protein and seed oil content is similar to Wyandot. This variety has indeterminate growth habit and equal or superior agronomic attributes than Wyandot. Wyandot 14 will be released as a non-Exclusive Certified Public, three generation (F, R, C) variety with a two cent per pound royalty required for Registered and Certified class seed sold. Seed stock will be maintained by Ohio Foundation Seeds, Inc.
