Evaluation of the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) Soybean Germplasm Collection: Maturity Groups 000 to IV (PI 446.893 to PI 486. 355)

摘要

The report contains data on the origin, descriptive characteristics, agronomic performance, and seed composition for over 500 soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) accessions in maturity groups 000 to IV from the USDA Soybean Germplasm Collection. These accessions (PI 446.893 to PI 486.355) were introduced into the United States from 1980 to 1984. Publicly released cultivars form the United States and Canada during 1980 to 1987 were also tested. A maximum of 37 categories of data is present for each entry. These accessions were evaluated in two tests; maturity groups 000 to 0 at St. Paul, MN, and maturity groups I to IV at Urbana, IL, in 1986 and 1987.
