Brief Project Summary:

The focus of this research project is soybean breeding and variety development. The research and variety development focus on improving soybean yield in Nebraska production environments. Genes and genomic regions that affect important traits like yield, disease resistance, and compositional quality that all impact performance and value for the farmer are also being identified.

In 2012, this program commercialized five new soybean varieties, made significant advances in improving yield, had several lines with superior yields in the USDA Uniform Regional Tests, and distributed seeds in response to seed requests for crossing to universities, USDA and industry programs. New germplasm lines...

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.
