Modified Oil Soybean Test—South

Author: Kevin O. Scholbrock (Iowa State University)

Abstract

The purpose of this test was to evaluate the experimental modified oil soybean lines adapted to southern Iowa. The 2008 Modified Oil Test included 1% linolenic, 2.5% linolenic, mid oleic, and low saturates, and for comparison of agronomic traits, commercially grown varieties released by Iowa State University. Oil from 1% linolenic, 2.5% linolenic, mid oleic, and low saturates soybean varieties grown in Iowa is used in the frying oil market. This oil is healthier for the consumer.
