Agriculture Agri-Food Canada Conventional Soy Protein Variety Evaluation
Elroy Cober – Research Scientist, soybean breeding and genetics, AAFC
Kirsten Slusarenko – Soybean breeding AAFC
The project tests 20 varieties of conventional soybean as part of a broader project examining protein differences between eastern and western Canada sites
Varieties not connected by the same letter are statistically significant from each other. After smoothing data for missing plots and irregular emergence, the coefficient of variation for the trial is 12.4%. This project is part of a long-term 5-year multi-site study across Canada, led by Elroy Cober. Complete research findings will be made available by Elroy Cober and team. For general information related to corn research conducted by Elroy Cober, see his Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada webpage.
Roblin is one of many sites across Canada taking part in this project to determine soybean protein content differences between eastern and western Canadian growing sites.
