Information And Results
Project Deliverables

This project addresses the need for a public soybean breeding program at the University of Missouri focused on germplasm and variety development for northern Missouri and nationwide. Not only does the breeding program focus on a current market need in the form of conventional maturity group 3 and early group 4 varieties, but it also works with other public and private soybean research and breeding programs by supplying extremely valuable germplasm for continued profitability and productivity for US and Missouri farmers.
