To provide soybean growers with advanced herbicide-tolerance technologies for better weed control, this breeding program has access to LibertyLink technology from BASF, RR2 Xtend technology from Bayer, and Enlist E3 technology from Corteva. These technologies employ multiple modes of action against difficult weeds and provide excellent weed control in soybeans. Coupling with strong soybean genetics developed at the University of Georgia, these technologies will provide Southeastern soybean growers with the opportunity to use efficient, cost-effective herbicide technology with high yield performance. The objective of this research is to accelerate development of soybean varieties with advanced herbicide-tolerance technologies, as well as pest resistance, using state-of-art genomic technology.Key Benefactors: farmers, agronomists, extension agents, soybean breeders, seed companies
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.
