Brief Project Summary:

The objective of this research project is to test advanced soybean lines that are adapted to Alabama growing conditions. The primary focus of the breeding program is to test advanced lines in the USDA Uniform Tests at sites in Alabama. They are also working with the soybean breeder at Clemson University in developing photoperiod-insensitive germplasm, or cultivars with the long-juvenile trait, with resistance to soybean cyst nematode and the Roundup Ready technology. A third cooperative effort is to continue to evaluate the USDA soybean germplasm collection for resistance to Asian soybean rust.

Information And Results
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.
