DISEASE REACTION: resistant to Phytophthora rot (Phytophthora megasperma f. sp. glycinea) races 1-3, 6-9, susceptible to Soybean cyst nematode (Heterodera glycines)

AGRONOMICS: good resistance to shattering and lodging, maturity group II, 3000 heat unit rating

Origin & Breeding History: 'S20-G7' (experimental number 03DL087033) was derived from the cross 63272 / 28244 made in 2000 at Arva, Ontario. The F1-F2 generation were grown near Kekaha, Hawaii in the winter of 2000-2001. The F3 generation was grown in Arva, Ontario in the summer of 2001. The F4-F5 generation was grown in a winter nursery in 2001-2002. Single F6 plants were selected in the summer of 2002 and threshed individually. The progeny were yield tested in a single replicate test in 2003 and one of these lines, identified as 03DL087033 was selected based on superior agronomic traits. 03DL087033 was tested in multiple environments in Ontario and the USA and exhibited excellent performance compared to other varieties of similar maturity.

Tests & Trials: Test and trials were conducted during the 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 growing seasons in Arva, and Wallaceberg, Ontario. Plots consisted of 2 rows, with a row length of 5 metres and a row spacing of 75 cm. There were two replicates. Protein levels were determined from seed samples drawn in trials in Arva, Ontario during the years 2005-2008 and in Wallaceberg, Ontario in 2006. 4 subsamples were drawn from each of the 8 locations as composite samples from the 2 replicates of each trial to determine the mean protein levels.
