Brief Project Summary:

The goal of this checkoff project is to provide a steady flow of new and improved soybean cultivars with high productivity and profitability to the soybean industry. Specifically, the research team will develop varieties and germplasm which are high-yielding, maturity group 4-5 (Roundup Ready and conventional), adapted to various environments and production systems in Arkansas, and with resistance to soybean cyst nematode, root knot nematode, sudden death syndrome, stem canker, frogeye leaf spot, soybean mosaic virus and soybean rust.
