Brief Project Summary:

The potential for flooding in the Delta is certainly much greater than is typical in the Midwest. Dr. Chen leads this study which is a collaboration between several states in the MSSB. The project focuses on flood tolerance at both mid-season and early season stages of soybean development. Note: The University of Missouri is issuing subcontract awards totaling up to $100,000 to other University partners.

Information And Results
Project Deliverables

This project will identify cultivars with flood tolerance so that specific recommendations can be made to producers. This project will also identify new sources of flood tolerance from diverse germplasm and incorporate such tolerance into high yielding background.

The expected end products from this project will include 1) a publically available and unbiased data set for the commercial varieties tested in state variety testing programs in MO, AR, MS, LA, and TX; 2) a list of high yielding, stable, and locally adapted soybean lines with flood tolerance recommended to the Mid-south farmers; and 3) new and improved breeding lines with flood tolerance to share with other public and private breeding programs for variety development.

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.
