Research

Tennessee Soybean Promotion Board recognizes the importance of continued soybean research to ensure our farmers are able to harvest better quality products. This research provides insight into new methods of crop management, which enables farmers to produce soybeans at an affordable price to the consumers. Soybean breeding, pest control, variety testing, and disease management are among the many soybean check-off funded research projects being done in our state.

The Tennessee Soybean Promotion Board convenes once a year to discuss new developments in current projects and to consider the addition of new projects. They seek out new and innovative proposals concerning soybean research. All funded projects are intended to further the development in the discovery of the soybean and it's possible uses. These project proposals are submitted to Tennessee Soybean from research scientists and extension specialists from all over the state.
