Brief Project Summary:

Soybean producers in Texas utilize varieties from commercial seed companies to grow commodity beans. Options for conventional and/or identity-preserved varieties are limited. Also limited are varieties developed specifically for Texas with drought and stink bug tolerant. Drought tolerance soybean lines have been developed under greenhouse environments. Seeds of these lines are limited. This funding request is to expand quantities of three soybean lines so that there are enough seed for test plot experiments.
