'ND Bison' Soybean (RFP-279)

ND Bison is a conventional soybean variety released by the North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station in 2016. ND Bison is not resistant to glyphosate. It is intended to be a replacement for Sheyenne.

ND Bison’s relative maturity is 0.7. Compared with Sheyenne, ND Bison matures one day earlier and is similar in yield.

ND Bison has improved defensive traits including moderate resistance to soybean cyst nematode (SCN) and resistance to races 3 and 4 of phytophthora root rot. This new variety also has tolerance to iron deficiency chlorosis (IDC) and has resistance to lodging.

ND Bison has performed very well in the multi-state Uniform Region Test which includes testing sites in southern Minnesota and Canada.

ND Bison has purple flower color, tawny pubescence, brown pods, dull seed coat luster and yellow hila.

To help ensure genetic purity, ND Bison soybean has been protected under PVPA Title V (certificate No. 201700086) 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.
