Time to Integrate Pollinator Science into Soybean Production

Lucas A Garibaldi et al. Trends Ecol Evol. 2021 Jul.

Abstract

Soybeans cover 129 million hectares globally. Soybean productivity can increase with pollinator management, but soybean cultivation practices commonly ignore biotic pollination. If pollinator habitats are created within soybean landscapes and policies to limit agricultural expansion are implemented, millions of hectares could be restored for biodiversity without loss of soybean production.

Keywords: biodiversity conservation; crop yield; honey bee; pollination; soybean; wild pollinators.
