Brief Project Summary:

The winter nursery in Puerto Rico is used to conduct generation advance for soybean breeding and genetics studies to obtain two additional generations per year and for our primary crossing season for the variety development program. The Chile nurseries are used primarily for progeny row evaluation of new lines that will enter multi-location yield tests in Nebraska, for advanced populations for single plant harvest to derive new lines for evaluation in Nebraska, and to conduct small-scale seed increases of specific lines to hasten development of populations and lines for research and commercial production. The nurseries in South America allow evaluation for agronomic traits in environments...

Information And Results
Project Deliverables

Soybean varieties with improved yield, disease resistance, and compositional quality for Nebraska production environments.

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.
