resistance to lodging may
become an increasingly im
portant research goal m the
development of varieties resp
ponsive to highly productive
environments. Scientists of
USDA’s Agricultural Research
Service (ARS) and the Illinois
Experiment Station, Urbana,
observed that early lodging could
Ije a barrier to increased soybean
yields in highly productive en
vironments. Increasing soil
fertility, irrigation and using
other practices to improve yields
normally increases lodging.
Yield of WELLS is similar to
that of Amsoy 71, Beeson, and
Corsey. It is resistant to
phytophthora root rot, race 1, and
frogeye leafspot, race 2, but it is
susceptible to bacterial pustule
and downy mildew.
WELLS is adapted as a full
season variety from about 40
degrees to 44 degrees latitude in
the United States. It matures four
days earlier than Amsoy 71 and
five days earlier than Beeson. It
was evaluated in 89 regional tests
conducted by ARS at the U.S.
