RRECSO-Américas soybean research initiative

Overview

The RRECSO-Américas initiative has launched a collaborative project involving Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Colombia, and Peru to improve soybean cultivar selection. Funded by Fontagro and executed by Fundación ArgenINTA, the project utilizes a unified protocol to evaluate genotypes across more than 180 environments. This standardized methodology aims to provide technical data to producers and seed companies through regional databases and a digital platform integrating climate, soil, and agronomic information.

Research efforts have expanded to include the validation of physiological indicators, such as chlorophyll and proline levels, to identify soybean genotypes with superior drought tolerance. These indicators allow researchers to identify promising candidates more efficiently in both greenhouse and field settings. The initiative continues to work toward providing comparable performance data across different growing regions through the established regional network.
