Information And Results
Final Project Results

Updated December 10, 2019:
Breeding lines were tested in environments prone to severe seed damage. Improved breeding lines were identified with significantly lower seed damage than that of cultivars. Results were distributed and shared with the scientific community through reports and at scientific meetings. Manuscript preparation using these data is progressing. We are on track to release improved germplasm with demonstrated low seed damage within 3 years.

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.
