Future-proofing Australia’s soybean industry
Description
An ambitious GRDC investment, being led by the University of Adelaide, is working to develop new high yielding soybean varieties for a broader range of growing environments.
Worth $6 million, this significant investment builds on the achievements of past breeding programs and will accelerate the delivery of new varieties to growers by ‘speed breeding’ - harnessing new technology to improve germplasm evaluation and other key breeding processes.
In this podcast, we hear from lead breeder University of Adelaide, Dr Anh Pham, as well as grower and Soybean Industry Development Officer at Soy Australia, Judy Plath.
The University of Adelaide is keen to hear from growers about the problems they are facing so please contact Dr Anh Pham directly by emailing anh.pham@adelaide.edu.au
