Project Number: 6070-21220-069-097-R
Project Type: Reimbursable Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Jan 1, 2021
End Date: Dec 31, 2021
Objective:
Development of flood tolerant soybean germplasm for North Carolina.
Approach:
1. Identify putative flood tolerant genotypes from Missouri, Arkansas, and North Carolina as test materials.
2. Develop a flood implementation protocol at Plymouth, North Carolina, based on previous rice research at that location.
3. Screen genetic materials for visual symptoms of stress and agronomic performance under flooding comditions.
4. Compare results with those found in other states.
5. Identify breeding stock for development of flood tolerant cultivars for the southeastern USA.
