The goal of this project is to develop an early season assessment tool to evaluate soybean variety response to abiotic (water) and biotic (insect or disease) stresses. The project is based on the fact that soybean variety selection is the number one mechanism that growers can use to increase their chances for higher yield and crop profitability. In Wisconsin, over 300 soybean varieties are annually tested at several locations and each of the locations are subjected to at least one stress during the growing season. Often these stresses are not readily apparent, and thus, greatly limit the ability to explain yield differences between varieties in the test. The researchers in this study...
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.
