Researchers from Inta and Conicet have found that wild insects can enhance seed formation, challenging the belief that soybeans rely solely on self-pollination. For years, soybeans were thought to be largely independent of pollinators due to their self-pollinating ability, leading to the assumption that bees and other insects played a minimal role in production. However, a study published in Scientific Reports during the 2023/24 season at the INTA Marcos Juárez Agricultural Experimental Station has raised new questions about soybean agroecosystem management.
