Soybean is one of the world's most economically significant crops, and the most economically significant bean crop. It provides a crucial source of protein-rich food for millions of people as well as for animals. This book offers new insights into the cultivation and nutritional value of soybean today. The first part examines applications and technology in growth and cultivation. The expert contributors examine issues such as emerging applications for soybean biodiesel glycerol, and alternatives to soybean for animal feed in the tropics. Part two examines nutritional issues. Topics discussed include soybean in horses diets, and a novel plant growth-promoting peptide derived from soybean. Finally, part three examines genetics and novel techniques for yield enhancement. Here, new findings are presented on genetically modified soy in animal nutrition and remote sensing of soybean plants response to environmental stress. This book is essential reading for anyone seeking the latest research on soybean production and use today.
