Inheritance of Cold Temperature Emergence in Soybeans and Its Relationship to Field Emergence and Seed Yield of Early Planted Soybeans (Heritability, Genetic, Vigor)

Increasing use of reduced-tillage techniques, earlier planting, and late cold snaps can result in the exposure of emerging soybeans to suboptimal soil temperatures. Such exposure can result in decreased emergence, reduced seedling vigor, increased incidence of disease, and lowered yields. Soybean genotypes with superior cold temperature emergence (CTE) ability will avoid these problems.
