Brief Project Summary:

The OSU-OARDC and USDA-ARS soybean breeding programs focus on the development of Ohio-adapted soybean varieties and germplasm. Unlike many seed companies, these breeding programs develop varieties expressly for Ohio-adaptation and the priorities of the breeding programs are specific to the needs of Ohio soybean producers. These priorities include the development of potentially value added soybean varieties with exceptional food grade characteristics or modified fatty acid composition for human consumption and/or industrial uses. Our aim is to combine these varieties with resistance to Ohio's most damaging soybean pests and diseases, including soybean cyst nematode (SCN), soybean aphid,...

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.
