Brief Project Summary:

The OSU-OARDC and USDA-ARS soybean breeding programs focus on the development of Ohio-adapted soybean cultivars and germplasm. Adaptation to Ohio is achieved through the utilization of over 10 yield trial sites in Ohio, improving genetic resistance to diseases prevalent in Ohio's poorly drained, no-till, and long-term agricultural fields, as well as expressly breeding for niche markets unique to Ohio.

Our breeding priorities include the development of potentially value added soybean cultivars for production of tofu and soymilk, for the emerging natto market, or with high oleic oil, in anticipation of the high oleic as the new commodity oil. For both the niche market and commodity markets,...

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.
