Brief Project Summary:

High oleic acid soybeans are needed to avoid further erosion of vegetable oil for food market. Schillinger Genetics has developed outstanding non-GMO high oleic soybean varieties for Delaware. This work supports testing of new, novel soybean varieties for Delmarva that have added the SG patented feed value genetics to the oil quality genetics. Trials test new non-GMO varieties and experimental lines with combined feed value and oil traits.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, Extension agents, soybean breeders, soybean oil users, crushers
