This project seeks to determine commercial soybean varieties that provide the best yield under rainfed conditions in the different growing regions along the Texas Gulf Coast production area , to evaluate soybean varieties for iron chlorosis tolerance, and to evaluate soybean breeding lines from the Missouri breeding program for adaptability, growth and yield along the Texas Gulf Coast. The importance of planting the right variety cannot be stressed enough. As soil and weather conditions vary from area to area along the Texas Gulf Coast, it is important for growers to be able to determine varieties that will perform best in each respective area. Key Benefactors: farmers, agronomists, extension agents
Since all the variety studies will be conducted under rain-fed conditions, the results from each area may provide us with some knowledge of drought/flood tolerance.
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.
