Brief Project Summary:

The goal of this soybean breeding project is to collaborate with other research efforts at Louisiana State University that are working on screening for Soybean Diseases, developing soybean lines and varieties with tolerance to drought, water logging and salt stresses. The goal of the project is to develop high-yields and disease resistant soybean lines that are adapted to the environmental conditions of Louisiana and the Gulf Coast region. Soybean Diseases being targeted are Cercospora leaf blight, frogeye leaf spot and Soybean rust. Other breeding targets include drought tolerance and salt tolerance.

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.
