Brief Project Summary:

The general goal of this research is to provide superior Roundup Ready varieties that have been developed by North Dakota State University. Experimental lines will be selected for suitable maturity, high yield, lodging resistance, disease and SCN resistance as well as tolerance to iron-deficiency chlorosis. The benefit to the North Dakota soybean industry would be that growers can save input costs because they would be able to save their own RR seed for replanting the following year.

Information And Results
Final Project Results

The benefit to the North Dakota soybean industry would be that growers can save input costs because they would be able to save their own RR seed for replanting the following year. At present, farmers must purchase expensive new seed each year. According to Monsanto, when the patent is no longer viable for the Roundup Ready One technology, growers are supposed to be able to save their own seed and to plant it without fines or penalty.

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.
