Brief Project Summary:

This project seeks to determine commercial soybean varieties that provide the best yield under rainfed conditions in the different growing regions along the Texas Gulf Coast production area , to evaluate soybean varieties for iron chlorosis tolerance, and to evaluate soybean breeding lines from the Missouri breeding program for adaptability, growth and yield along the Texas Gulf Coast. The importance of planting the right variety cannot be stressed enough. As soil and weather conditions vary from area to area along the Texas Gulf Coast, it is important for growers to be able to determine varieties that will perform best in each respective area.
