Lead Principal Investigator:
William S. Harkcom, Retired, Pennsylvania State University
Co-Principal Investigators:

Project Code:
R2019-06; OSP#206779
Contributing Organization (Checkoff):

$15,000
Leveraged Funding (Non-Checkoff):
We solicit entry fees from seed companies who enter soybean varieties in our trials. The entry fees are used to help leverage the PSB funds to cover additional costs associated with conducting our trials, such as supplies, machinery costs, travel costs, additional personnel, and soybean quality analyses (samples are sent to Iowa State University for protein and oil content). We also receive funding from Penn State to cover some of the labor costs.

Brief Project Summary:

This project supports the soybean variety testing and management program at Penn State, which annually publishes performance information on over 100 soybean varieties and evaluates numerous other experimental soybean lines for use in Pennsylvania. These trials evaluate soybean lines to help producers and seedsmen identify superior lines for production in Pennsylvania, provide data for soybean maturity and agronomic data, provide feedback on the potential of alternative soybean lines, provide a resource for pest management studies and provide yield information.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, extension agents
