Brief Project Summary:

Waterlogging/flooding can be caused by poor drainage or excessive irrigation. Yield losses up to 50% are common in heavy, clay soils with poor surface and internal drainage. Breeding for waterlogging is a relatively new goal, and important in 2019 as farmers battle excessive rainfall. The highest yielding cultivar may not be the best choice on a poorly drained soil. We will screen current cultivars for tolerance and build breeding tools and germplasm for release to public and private institutions

Information And Results
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.
