Genetic-based improvement in soybean yield potential, resistance to disease and insect pests, and better seed composition to foster the use of soybeans in both traditional and new markets.
We develop more than 20,000 new lines each year over all breeding objectives, and those are evaluated and selected through multiple stages and years of testing. Major objectives include improved yield and compositional quality, and improved resistance and tolerance to stresses including IDC, drought, and multiple disease and insect pests. Germplasm from our breeding program consistently ranks at the top of the USDA regional performance trials that are conducted throughout the north central region in...
