- W2105843843 abstract "Damage from white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) has become a common complaint of soybean (Glycine max) producers in many areas of the Southeast. Both shortand long-term, single-field and community-wide solutions to this problem are needed. This paper describes a multi-agency, multi-state effort, involving agronomists, wildlife biologists, producers, and other landowners, to assess soybean losses from deer and to evaluate potential solutions. One phase of this work, which is supported by soybean producer checkoff funds, involves evaluating agronomic practices for reducing crop losses. These include drilled (rather than wide-row) plantings and use of insect-resistant or dense-pubescent cultivars (varieties) which may deter browsing, especially where deer pressure is light to moderate. Evaluations of these practices, in comparison with conventional ones, are being conducted in producer’s fields in SC, NC, and VA. The other phase of this work is a cooperative project involving Clemson University, the SC Wildlife and Marine Resources Department, soybean producers and’ other landowners in a 7500-acre tract in Hampton and Jasper Cos., SC. The deer population in this tract will be monitored and reduced over a 3-year period, and the resulting effects on soybean crop losses and herd quality will be assessed. Proc. East. Wildl. Damage Control Conf. 6:152-155.1995. Damage to soybean by white-tailed deer has been reported in the southeastern USA for a number of years (Flyger and Thoerig 1962, DeCalesta and Schwendeman 1978, Moore and Folk 1978, Garrison and Lewis 1987), and crop depredation problems have increased nationwide as deer populations have increased (Conover and Decker 1991). Suggested methods to alleviate deer damage, including fencing, repellents, lights, and noisemakers, are costly and often unreliable (Flyger and Thoerig 1962, Moore and Folk 1978, Hygnstrom and Craven 1988). Both short-term solutions that producers can use to reduce deer damage on a single-field or farm basis, as well as reduction of the deer population through herd management techniques, are needed for the coexistence of two resources (deer and soybeans) in areas of the Southeast experiencing extreme deer pressure. This paper outlines an approach to investigate both agronomic practices (single-field solutions) and population reduction (a community-wide approach) for reducing deer damage to soybeans. Investigations of agronomic practices for reducing deer damage are being conducted in several southeastern states. The United Soybean Board (through the American Soybean Association) and state boards in South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia have allocated producer check-off funds to support our efforts. One objective of this work is to evaluate various soybean cultivars (varieties) and breeding lines for deer preference. Preliminary data indicates that certain insectresistant cultivars may be less preferred by deer than are conventional (insect-susceptible) cultivars. For example, in 1991, deer damage measurements were taken four times during the first 40 days after soybean planting in a producer’s field in Colleton Co., SC. Measurements were taken for four soybean cultivars: Lamar and Crockett, both of which show resistance to foliar-feeding insects (Hartwig et al., 1990, Bowers, 1990, Rowan et al. 1991), and the insectsusceptible (conventional) cultivars Leflore and Perrin. Previous studies at other locations had indicated that 16% or fewer plants were damaged in fields with histories of deer depredation (DeCalesta and Schwendeman 1978, Garrison and Lewis 1987). At our location, however, much larger percentages (37 to 94%) of plants were damaged by deer during the observation period (Table 1). The insect-resistant cultivars Lamar and Crockett sustained less deer damage than the susceptible cultivars leflore and Perrin at the first two observation dates. However, the percentage of damaged Lamar plants increased substantially after 11 July, with 75% of plants damaged by the end of that month. The percentage of damaged plants was lower for Crockett than for the two susceptible cultivars throughout the observation period. Yield estimates were also higher for Crockett (1882 kg/ha; 28 bu/ac) than for Perrin (605 kg/ha; 9 bu/ac) or Leflore (1008 kg/ha; 15 bu/ac). Lamar and Leflore yields were estimated to be identical. Table 1. Deer damage to four soybean cultivars at four observation dates in 1991. The plants were growing in a small field in a heavily wooded location in Colleton Co., SC.

Yield reductions due to deer (yield decrease outside fence as a percentage of yield inside fence) were low at two locations, but at West Point, VA, yield was reduced 43% when averaged over genotypes (Table 2). The genotypes evaluated included the insect-resistant cultivar Lamar (27% yield reduction) and the insect-resistant line N8050385 which showed no yield reduction. In addition, two isolines differing only in pubescence sustained different levels of deer damage; yield was reduced 47% for the glabrous isoline D88-5328, as compared with 23% for the pubescent isoline D88-5272. Yield reduction was less for later-maturing insectresistant lines (20% reduction) than for early-maturing ones (67%). We are continuing to evaluate a number of insect-resistant soybean cultivars and lines at field locations in the three states. In Virginia, screening efforts include soybean genotypes with various pubescence types (sparse, normal, and dense pubescence), genotypes with both insect-resistance and densepubescence, and blends of insect-resistant and -susceptible cultivars. Field studies on the influence of drilling (as opposed to conventional wide row spacings) on deer damage are also being conducted as part of this project. This work has been prompted by producer reports that deer seem to prefer the wider spaced rows, perhaps because the threat of danger is easier to recognize than in close rows. We also think that closely-spaced plantings can recover better from moderate browsing than can conventional plantings. This is because of the ability of the soybean plant to compensate (through branching) for additional space such as that left by an adjacent plant which was damaged. In a related effort, a study is underway at Clemson University’s Simpson Research and Education Center near Pendleton, SC, to evaluate soybean growth and yield under various clipping treatments designed to simulate moderate to extreme deer damage. The clipping treatments consist of removal of one-fourth to one-third of the main-stem of all plants in a 4-row plot. The treatments are performed at 4 times during the season (3 times during vegetative growth plus one treatment after pod formation), with 16 treatments representing all combinations of clipping and treatment date. Evaluation of plan! development and plot yield under these treatments All provide information which is needed by agronomists and wildlife biologists who must assess the potential of a crop to recover from damage, especially when it has been repeatedly browsed.
