Location: Soybean and Nitrogen Fixation Research
Project Number: 6070-21220-070-062-R
Project Type: Reimbursable Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Jul 1, 2024
End Date: Apr 23, 2026
Objective:
Objectives to which ARS investigator will contribute: Evaluate the agronomic performance and seed composition of soybean breeding lines developed for the edamame market.
Approach:
Eighty soybean breeding lines will be evaluated in replicated trials for three years in North Carolina. This shared activity will help determine the overall agronomic and quality performance of breeding materials as well as their stability across a range of environments. Evaluation will be conducted at NCSU research stations. Seed composition will be evaluated for protein and oil content.
