'Ashtabula' Soybean (RFP-163)

Description

'Ashtabula' is a conventional soybean variety (not resistant to glyphosate) released by the North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station in 2009.

'Ashtabula' has the pedigree ND95-952/Council. It has purple flower color, grey pubescence, brown pods, yellow hila and dull seed coat luster.

'Ashtabula' is high yielding compared to Walsh and Barnes. 'Ashtabula' is lower yielding than 'Sheyenne', but is 5 days earlier in maturity. 'Ashtabula' will fill a need for a high-yielding cultivar in areas that need a cultivar which is earlier in maturity than 'Sheyenne'.

'Ashtabula' is moderately resistant to irondeficiency chlorosis and as the Rps6 gene for phytophthora root rot resistance. The Rps6 gene is superior to Rps1c and Rps1k, because it confers resistance to races of phytophthora root rot that are common in the Red River Valley. 'Ashtabula' is resistant to races 3, 4, and 25 of phytophthora root rot.

To help ensure genetic purity, 'Ashtabula' Soybean is protected under PVPA Title V (issued certificate No. 200900339) and must be sold as a class of certified seed.

Development of this variety was made possible through funds provided by the North Dakota Soybean Council.
