We successfully completed the first year of multi-environment evaluation on 500 PI accessions from the USDA soybean germplasm collection. Because of timing of the season and FY, we do not have data summarized and analyzed for this report. During the next period we will conduct data analyses and start work on model development and predictions based on the first year of data. These will not be the final models and predictions- that comes after the 2016 data are complete – but we can use Year 1 results to start the process and give us some preliminary information. The amount of yield and agronomic data we have after Year 1 exceeds the quality of any yield plot data currently available on this number of accessions in the collection. Through this coordinated effort, we have 14 replications worth of data from seven environments in five major soybean producing states in the north central region. That is valuable!
