Registration of 'S11-17025C' soybean: A high-yielding and high-oil conventional cultivar with broad resistance to diseases and nematodes

The soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr] cultivar 'S11-17025C' (Reg. no. CV-558, PI 701486) was developed and released by the University of Missouri-Fisher Delta Research, Extension, and Education Center (MU-FDREEC). S11-17025C is a conventional, early maturity group V (relative maturity, 5.2) with high yield potential with a determinate growth habit. It is a chloride excluder for tolerance to high-chloride field conditions. It has broad disease resistance, including soybean cyst nematode races 1 (HG type 2.5.7), 2 (HG type 1.2.5.7), 3 (HG type 5.7), and 5 (HG type 2.5.7); southern root-knot nematode; reniform nematode; and sudden death syndrome. S11-17025C was tested in 133 environments across 10 states, including Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia, in 2012-2016. It was evaluated in yield tests at the MU-FDREEC (2012-2016), USDA Uniform Soybean tests (2013-2016), and soybean state variety tests (2015 and 2016). S11-17025C yielded 104% of the commercial check mean across multiple environments. 17025C has broad adaptation across the Mid-south where growers may benefit from premium prices offered for conventional soybeans. S11-17025C can also serve as germplasm for use in crosses in breeding programs.
