The Process of Soybean Seed & Variety Breeding

Hear from Tim Pruski, senior soybean breeder at BASF, on why soybean breeding is so important to BASF and its growers, and how the BASF team leads the charge in developing maturity group 3 soybean varieties. His team focuses on yield and good agronomics, and enhancing resistance to pests like soybean cyst nematode, Phytophthora, and sudden death syndrome in soybeans. Starting with 40,000 to 50,000 potential varieties, the best traits are meticulously selected and refined over three to five years, ultimately offering farmers top-performing options. Leveraging cutting-edge predictive breeding techniques, BASF accelerates the process with advanced phenotyping, envirotyping, and genomic selection. Pruski and his dedicated team ensure that each variety is rigorously tested in local fields, guaranteeing performance for farmers.
