Interpretive Summary: Soybean is an economically important U.S. crop and that disease-resistant cultivars with high yield and high oil content are desirable. Adding genetic resistance to high-yielding cultivars through crossing is a sustainable approach to manage diseases and minimize yield losses. The conventional soybean ‘S13-1955C’ was developed. This cultivar has high oil content and broad disease resistance including soybean cyst nematode, southern root-knot nematode, reniform nematode, sudden death syndrome, and frogeye leaf spot. S13-1955C was tested in 177 environments across 13 states and averaged 101% of the check yield in Missouri and the southern states from 2014 to 2019. The high yield, high oil content, and broad disease resistance make ‘S13-1955C’ an excellent choice for soybean growers.

Technical Abstract: The conventional maturity group (MG) V soybean [Glycine max (L). Merr.] cultivar ‘S13-1955C’ (Reg. No. --) was developed and released by the University of Missouri – Fisher Delta Research Center Soybean Breeding Program in 2019. Plants of S13-1955C have determinate growth habit, white flower, tawny pubescence, tan pod wall, and seed with black hilum. It has high oil content (227.4 g/kg) and broad disease resistance including soybean cyst nematode (SCN), southern root-knot nematode (SRK), reniform nematode (RN), sudden death syndrome (SDS), and frogeye leaf spot (FLS). S13-1955C was tested in 177 environments across 13 states and averaged 101% of the check yield in Missouri and the southern states from 2014 to 2019.
