16 extractive question-and-answer pairs built from Assessment of soybean (Glycine max) genotypes for resistance toBemisia tabaci and its implications on yield | The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, published by epubs.icar.org.in. Source-evidenced topics include soybean, glycine max, bemisia tabaci, whitefly, sl 1074, sl 1028, ds 3105, yield losses. Every answer is a verbatim span of text the source prints, and each row carries the passage it sits in, its offset in that passage, the source quote, the page and the location in the document, so any row can be checked against the original. Question types in the export: 8 factual, 4 list, 4 relationship. 8 of the 16 pairs (50.0%) ask explanatory questions; the remaining 8 are factual or table-based questions. 93.75% of rows pass the corpus quality gate.
This dataset contains 16 question-and-answer pairs derived from a study on soybean genotypes and their resistance to the whitefly pest, Bemisia tabaci, conducted during the 2018 and 2019 kharif seasons at Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana. The study examined correlations between environmental factors, whitefly populations, and soybean yield parameters. It highlights the importance of resistant soybean varieties, such as SL 1074 and SL 1028, in minimizing yield losses caused by whitefly infestations.

| What environmental factor was negatively correlated with whitefly populations? | rainfall | The whitefly,Bemisia tabaciGennadius (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae), is a significant pest affecting pulse crops in north India, particularly soybean [Glycine max(L.) Merr.]. The study was carried out during the rainy (kharif)seasons of 2018 and 2019 at Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, Punjab to investigate whitefly populations across 8 soybean genotypes. The study revealed that genotypes SL 1074 and SL 1028 had the lowest whitefly infestations, while DS 3105 exhibited high susceptibility. Whitefly populations, peaking at different stages, were positively correlated with temperature and relative humidity and negatively with rainfall. Significant variations in whitefly population densities were observed across different genotypes and canopy levels, with higher populations in the upper and middle canopies. | 635 | relationship | 0.890 | https://epubs.icar.org.in/index.php/IJAgS/article/view/128249 | Whitefly populations, peaking at different stages, were positively correlated with temperature and relative humidity and negatively with rainfall. | p[0] | 0.700 | valid | |

| What was the relationship between whitefly populations and yield parameters in soybean? | Negative correlations | The avoidable yield losses were estimated in three cultivars recommended for cultivation by the Punjab Agricultural University, with losses ranging from 18.12–27.28%. The insecticide thiamethoxam was effective initially, but whitefly populations increased three weeks after the spraying. Unprotected plots exhibited higher whitefly populations and greater yield losses. Negative correlations were found between whitefly populations and yield parameters, particularly with 100-seed weight. This study underscores the importance of cultivating resistant soybean varieties like SL 1074 and SL 1028 to manageB. tabaciand minimize yield losses. | 370 | relationship | 0.890 | https://epubs.icar.org.in/index.php/IJAgS/article/view/128249 | Unprotected plots exhibited higher whitefly populations and greater yield losses.
