Interpretive Summary: Soybean varieties developed by the USDA, Agricultural Research Service and State Agricultural Experiment Stations are released for production in Indiana. These varieties differ in yield potential, resistance to pathogens, adaptation to different parts of the state, and in identifying characteristics. This bulletin summarizes information on publicly developed soybean varieties that have been released for production in Indiana. The information will be useful to soybean producers in selecting varieties with good yield potential, adapted to production where they farm, and that are resistant to pathogens that affect production on their farms. The descriptive information on variety characteristics will assist producers in identifying the varieties they have selected for production.
