Brief Project Summary:

This project is a continuation of winter nursery support begun in 1990. The winter nursery is a vital link in breeding activities, because it reduces the time required for development of a variety or new germplasm by two to three years. This permits timely release of new varieties and germplasm. Rapid development of these materials also increases impact on the private sector as they develop new GMO varieties.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, extension agents, soybean breeders, seed companies
