Varieties differ in their response to environmental conditions, soil resources and pest tolerance. Most of the varieties available to Pennsylvania growers were developed in other regions of the U.S. Tests will be conducted at two locations with four replications per cultivar. Herbicide-tolerant varieties (glyphosate RR and sulfonylurea STS) will be tested in a separate trial. Data on yield, maturity, plant height, lodging, seed quality, seed size and seed composition will be obtained. Results of previous studies are published in the Pennsylvania Soybean Performance Report and can be found at http://cornandsoybeans.psu.edu/soyvarietytests.cfm
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.
