Delaware Soybean Board spearheads trials of salt-tolerant soybean varieties

The Delaware Soybean Board is working with the University of Delaware and Schillinger Seed Company to run a limited trial of a salt-tolerant soybean variety this summer. The test is meant as a precursor to a more extensive trial next spring. Growers who were affected by the 2008 coastal flooding who are interested in participating as cooperators and/or receiving additional information are asked to email the Delaware Soybean Board or call our office at (703) 437-0995.
