This research will benefit soybean growers by providing them with new, high yielding, and SCN resistant varieties. These varieties and experimental lines in the test also will be used as SCN resistant parents by breeders in private industry which will help them develop high yielding, SCN resistant varieties. Improvements in the yield of soybean varieties in the US will help increase the competitiveness of US produced soybean against other oil/protein sources in the world market.
