Results from the 2021 TN soybean variety trials are now available as pdf and excel files at search.utcrops.com/soybean. One hundred ten varieties were evaluated in small plot replicated trials (REC) at nine locations and fifty-seven varieties were evaluated in three to twelve locations as non-replicated large strip plots (CST). Quality and agronomic traits are reported for the REC trials and disease data are reported for both sets of trials. A summary of varieties that were in the yield “A group” (not statistically different from the top yield within each test) in either the REC or CST trial can be viewed here 2021 TN Soybean Top-Performers . Links for individual tables and the soybean database will be uploaded soon.

Which soybean variety is best suited to my region? State variety testing programs provide critical research to help answer that question by evaluating hundreds of soybean varieties every year across multiple locations within a state. But what if we think beyond the bounds of our state borders when it comes to variety evaluation? While a single state alone provides valuable data, our growing regions often cross state lines. A location in West Tennessee may share more similarities to sites in East Arkansas than it does to East Tennessee. By combining variety testing data across multiple states, we can create a more robust dataset that allows us to better predict which varieties are best suited to specific regions and growing conditions.
