Brief Project Summary:

North Carolina producers rely on official variety trials to determine which soybean cultivars will be most advantageous on their farms. The N.C. State University breeding program will test its most advanced breeding lines in the trials prior to release to farmers. The cost of entering lines in the trials is a significant bottleneck for cultivar releases. This project provides funding to increase the probability that advanced lines will be released to growers in a timely manner.

Final Project Results

The United Soybean Research Retention policy will display final reports with the project once completed but working files will be purged after three years. And financial information after seven years. All pertinent information is in the final report or if you want more information, please contact the project lead at your state soybean organization or principal investigator listed on the project.
