Brief Project Summary:

The goal of this research project is to test advanced soybean lines that are adapted to Alabama growing conditions. The primary focus of the breeding program is to test advanced lines in the USDA Uniform Tests at twelve sites in Alabama. They are currently evaluating about 175 advanced lines in these cooperative tests. The soybean breeding program at Auburn University is in the process of discontinuing development of cultivars on a large scale.There are still a few germplasm lines being evaluated and the program will continue as long as the material looks promising.
