The soybean variety Probst was developed by the USDA-Agricultural Research Service in cooperation with the Agricultural Research Programs at Purdue University. Seed yields of Probst thave been higher than the yields of other publicly developed varieties adapted to production where maturity Group III varieties have been grown. This variety is also resistant to nearly all strains of the pathogen causing Phytophthora rot, a root and stem disease of soybean that is potentially very destructive in the Midwest. Probst was released for production in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and Ohio because of its superior performance in these states. Technical Abstract: Probst is a new maturity Group III soybean variety that has excellent yield potential, good lodging resistance, and resistant to nearly all races of Phytophthora sojae identified in Indiana. This variety has been released for production in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and Ohio. Probst was the highest yielding variety in maturity Group III tests of the Uniform Soybean Tests Northern Region in 1992-1993. This variety has the Rps1-k gene for resistance to multiple races of Phytophthora sojae. |
