Brief Project Summary:

Soybeans with altered lipid composition are an attractive opportunity for growers to improve upon the profitability of soybean production. Without an understanding of how these common soybean pests act alone and in concert on these varieties, growers may be at risk of losing the premiums associated with these specialty bean varieties. Upon completion we will validate pest management recommendations based on commodity soybeans for production of low-linolenic soybeans or determining where modifications are needed for successful production.

The goal of this study is to better understand the relationship between soybean composition and agronomic stresses.

Final Project Results

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.
