Brief Project Summary:

This research seeks to identify physiological mechanisms related to flood tolerance in soybean germplasm and develop flood-tolerant, high-yielding germplasm that can be used to develop maturity group 3 and 4 soybean varieties with this trait. The results will improve availability of soybean breeding lines that can be used to develop soybean varieties with improved tolerance to flooding, plus a management guide that can be used to identify and adopt best management practices to deal with flooding.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, extension agents, soybean breeders, seed company

Information And Results
Project Deliverables

Availability of soybean breeding lines that can be used to develop soybean varieties with
improved tolerance to flooding, plus a management guide that can be used by producers to
identify and adopt BMP’s to deal with flooding.

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.
