Between coastal flooding situations and instances of saltwater intrusion in irrigation wells or irrigation from brackish creek sources, salt levels in soil are a concern for Delaware growers. This soybean breeding program will evaluate and develop lines which show salt tolerance and which are suitable agronomically for Delmarva. The information developed will help growers choose varieties which can excel under these conditions and develop new varieties suitable for Delaware which can succeed under these conditions.
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.
