North Central Soybean Research Program
Top Things for Farmers to Know About Checkoff Dollars Invested in Research
The North Central Soybean Research Program (NCSRP) invests checkoff dollars from producers in Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania in research that benefits the region.
Most NCSRP checkoff funding goes to large, multifaceted, multidiscipline, multistate research, teaching and outreach programs that encompass several objectives and projects. The goal is to build holistic regional or national discovery, development and outreach on high priority areas that impact soybean production to ensure profitability, quality and sustainability.
- Soybean Breeding with CRISPR base editing
- High Oleic Soybean Production and Market Development
- Soil Health
- Pest and Disease Management
- Developing, leveraging, integrating and implementing diverse disciplines, technologies and tools for accelerating breeding to increase genetic gain, yield potential and quality
- Conducting basic and applied research, teaching and outreach to understand biology, life cycles and plant interactions for integrated management solutions for these yield robbers:
- Insects (soybean aphid, stink bugs, spider mites, loopers/worms, beetles, stem borers)
- Seedling, soilborne disease-causing pathogens (Phytophthora, Fusarium, Rhizoctonia)
- Basic and applied studies for integrated soybean cyst nematode management
- Basic and applied studies for integrated management of foliar diseases (sudden death syndrome, white mold, iron deficiency chlorosis, brown stem rot)
- Multistate agronomic and cropping systems on-farm research for improved profitability and production management
- Biotech programs to develop tools and technologies that lead to faster, more precise, more economical improvements (CRISPR, mutation/mutant germplasm resources)
- Basic and applied studies for short- and long-term integrated weed management
One of Our Biggest Success Stories as a Result of Research
During the last nine years, NCSRP has encouraged broader productive research collaborations and increased a general sense of urgency and accountability while driving return on investment.
