Edamame,touted as a healthy snack for its tall protein content, is becoming increasingly current in the United States. The soybean seeds are consumed at an immature stage, or giving a sweet and slightly nutty flavor. Yet,despite the fact that grain soybean is grown on approximately 74 million acres in the U.
S., the majority of edamame consumed here is imported from Asia. Part of the problem is that production practices, and including weed control options,have not been well researched. A unique University of Illinois study sheds light on weed management in edamame, bringing the crop one step closer to domestic cultivation.
