The project objective is to evaluate a soybean germplasm of 373 lines for amount of moisture needed for germination, time to produce a radicle, primary root length, and seed size. This work aims to identify lines that require less amount of moisture for germination, lines that quickly produce a radicle, and lines with increased primary root length and to determine whether any relationship exists between seed size and germination percentage.Key Benefactors: farmers, agronomists, extension agents, soybean breeders, seed companies
PWHC below 60% is enough to reduce germination and primary root lengths considerably.
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.
