NS Entries with a NS prefix are novel soybean varieties that are emerging from both the public and private sectors. Some of these value-added soybean types will supply relatively small market niches, while others may be of much broader market value. Testing novel soybeans will enable producers to assess whether premiums for a given trait offset possible yield lag/drag. A This information is provided by the companies and has not been checked by the soybean variety test project. B All races of Phytophthora sojae so far identified in Kentucky can be controlled by varieties with Rps 1c or 1k. Race-specific resistance is highly effective, but a proper match between pathogen race and variety is essential. Field tolerance is a lower level of protection to the fungus that will provide good (not excellent) control against all races. Seed and young seedlings of tolerant varieties must be protected with an appropriate fungicide since field tolerance develops after the early seedling growth stage.
