Brief Project Summary:

This program will develop new soybean germplasm with superior traits or unique combinations of traits. This will help increase the competitiveness of U.S. soybean producers. Superior genetics represent the foundation for increasing yield and protecting yield from pests and pathogens. We will focus on the development of Kansas adapted germplasm in conventional (non-gmo) backgrounds to minimize intellectual property rights issues. Some conventional lines will be developed with STS herbicide resistance. The genetic material will be available to public and private breeding programs and seed producers with limited or no restrictions.

During the summer of 2013, experimental lines in maturity...

Information on resistance levels of commercial soybean cultivars to Kansas populations of SCN provides growers with info necessary to increase profitability of soybean production in SCN-infested environments. Characterization of SCN virulence patterns and results of research on resistance-based management practices and durability of resistance sources is being used to improve management recommendations. Knowledge of the prevalence of SCN and HG Types in Kansas is guiding soybean breeding efforts and providing soybean producers with information vital to variety selection. Current information on the efficacy of nematode control products is disseminated at grower meetings and field days to improve decision-making knowledge. Effects of high temperature stress on soybean were published at scientific conferences and published in peer reviewed publications.

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.
