Brief Project Summary:

Although the average US soybean yield has increased steadily since 1924, the yield gains in the past 2-3 decades were modest primarily due to the low level of soybean genetic diversity. Wild soybean has abundant genetic diversity and great potential for sustained soybean improvement over the long term. The goal of this project is to use the cutting-edge genetics, genomic technologies, and field data to create and identify high yielding, SCN resistant, experimental lines of soybeans.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, ag retailers

Information And Results
Final Project Results

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.
