Brief Project Summary:

The soybean breeding and genetics project addresses three of the target areas for FY16: (1) Soybean breeding programs for yield and composition, (2) breeding programs to address stem borer and bean leaf beetle, and (3) programs to accelerate soybean yield improvement consistently.

Information And Results
Project Deliverables

Results of this research and products produced from this project will (1) increase the overall value of Nebraska soybeans through research and development for improved compositional quality, (2)increase the average yield of Nebraska soybeans through a state-of-the art, comprehensive, and efficient soybean breeding program to increase yield per se, and through reducing yield losses from diseases and insects, and this project will (3) increase industrial demand for soybeans (high-protein soybeans, high oil soybeans, and modified fatty acid composition for specific industrial or food uses) that will provide improved processing efficiencies and/or opportunities for new products.

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.
