Brief Project Summary:

Approximately 4,000 acres of soybean fields were flooded by salt water during a coastal storm. Additional growers are affected by saltwater intrusion in irrigation wells and irrigation from brackish creek sources. This project will evaluate the performance of soybean varieties reported to be salt-tolerant on soils contaminated with salt during coastal flooding in 2008. The results of the study will help growers choose varieties which can excel under these conditions.
