Brief Project Summary:

Iron deficiency chlorosis (IDC) is a common disease of soybean in Northern States. Most seed companies give a chlorosis rating to their varieties, but companies use different rating scales that confuse farmers. Some seed companies do not provide side-by-side comparisons that can be used by farmers to select varieties most appropriate for their farm. The commercial chlorosis evaluations that are available to farmers are not satisfactory.

NDSU provides information on the tolerance of private company cultivars to IDC, based on a visual rating scale of 1-5. The goal of this project is to determine yield of twenty Roundup Ready cultivars known to be tolerant to IDC based on past ratings....

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.
