Newly developed cultivars of soybeans are continuously being released by universities, USDA-ARS and commercial companies. In addition to improved yields, the transition of herbicide tolerance traits into and out of the marketplace contributes to variety turnover. In 2020, the Georgia Statewide Variety Testing (SWVT) program evaluated 42 soybean varieties of various maturities for at Camilla. Yield, height, lodging, seed size and quality were assessed. The overall yield averaged 18.1 bu/acre, but the top 9 ranged from 21.2 to 24.6 bu/ac. The third highest yield was from a RR1 public variety. Ultra-late yields are typically higher than experienced in 2020. Plots for the 2021 season are awaiting...
The project will evaluate 45 soybean varieties in ultra-late tests at Attapulgus and Tifton.
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.
