High-oleic soybean cultivars help to replace trans-fat and improve oil stability in frying and baking applications. Growers make numerous decisions to optimize the production of high-oleic soybeans including selection of maturity group, planting date, seeding rate, and foliar protection/feeding. Maturity group and planting date directly influence when soybeans develop pods and seeds and their development on branches can have different oil and protein composition compared to main stems. Planting date and seeding rate also influence branching and could alter oil composition. Project objectives are to optimize oleic oil production and determine oleic stability across: seed rates x planting date, foliar protection and foliar feeding, and water supply.Key Benefactors: farmers, agronomists, ag retailers

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.
