This soybean features the Rps3-a gene for Phytophthora along with very good stress and Iron Chlorosis tolerance. Yield data from the past two years would indicate that this soybean works best if placed in medium to heavy soils. A small percentage (< 5%) of plants have white flowers. It moves south and west very well. It does not have tolerance to SCN, so consider using a seed treatment (like Saltro) for fighting that pest.
