'Sheyenne' Soybean (RFP-142)

Description

A conventional, nontransgenic soybean, 'Sheyenne' is expected to replace acreage of 'Barnes' and 'LaMoure', both NDSU-released varieties. 'Sheyenne' has good lodging resistance and matures two days later than 'LaMoure' and seven days earlier than 'Barnes'.

'Sheyenne' yielded 10 percent more than 'LaMoure' and 18 percent more than 'Barnes' in 18 trials conducted in North Dakota from 2004 through 2006. 'Sheyenne' has a lower protein content and slightly lower oil content than the variety 'Lambert'. 'Sheyenne' also has a yellow hila, which is desirable for conventional soybean varieties.

Research indicates that 'Sheyenne' has moderate resistance to iron deficiency chlorosis and has resistance to Phytophthora root rot Race 3 and is segregating for resistance to Race 4.

'Sheyenne' is named after the Sheyenne River that meanders through central and eastern North Dakota.

To help ensure genetic purity, 'Sheyenne' soybean has been protected by PVPA Title V (issued certificate No. 200700352) and must be sold as a class of certified seed.

The North Dakota Soybean Council provided some of the funding for the development of 'Sheyenne'.
