Interpretive Summary: Soybean is one of the most economically important crops in the world. There has been an increasing interest in soybean cultivars with an earlier relative maturity as they allow for greater flexibility in planting and harvesting dates, and multiple disease resistance. ‘S16-14730C’ is a conventional soybean ‘S16-14730C’ with early maturity. It underwent extensive yield testing and disease evaluation from 2017 to 2020 over a total of 104 environments across 12 different states. ‘S16-14730C’ yielded comparably to the check varieties used in these tests. ‘S16-14730C’ shows resistance to stem canker, charcoal rot, soybean cyst nematode (race 3), southern root-knot nematode, and peanut root-knot nematode. It has moderate resistance to races 1 and 2 of soybean cyst nematode. ‘S16-14730C’ may serve as an excellent variety choice in regions where a late maturity group IV conventional line is in demand.

Technical Abstract: ‘S16-14730C’ is a conventional MG IV (relative maturity 4.7) soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] cultivar released by the University of Missouri – Fisher Delta Research Center breeding program in 2020. It has an indeterminate growth habit, averaging 89 cm in height with a 2.1 lodging score. Plants have purple flowers, tawny pubescence, tan pod wall color, and seeds have black hila and 402.8 g kg-1 of protein and 224.0 g kg-1 of oil concentrations. ‘S16-14730C’ underwent extensive yield testing and disease evaluation from 2017 to 2020 over a total of 104 environments across 12 different states. During the USDA uniform trials in 2018 and 2019, ‘S16-14730C’ yielded 4,192 kg ha -1, equivalent to 99% and 108% of the best checks and overall checks mean, respectively. ‘S16-14730C’ shows resistance to stem canker (SC), charcoal rot (CRT), and soybean cyst nematode (SCN) race 3, and moderate resistance to SCN race 1 and 2, southern root-knot nematode (SRKN), and peanut root-knot nematode (PRKN). ‘S16-14730C’ may serve as an excellent variety choice in regions where a late maturity group IV conventional line is in demand.
