1991 elite trial where it was evaluated at six midwest locations eight plant row selections were advanced to the 1991 plant row yield trial based on the 1990 1991 elite data on 92027 and plant row yield trial data selection 9202709 was advanced to the 1992 elite trial which included eight midwest locations some of the criteria used to select in various generations include seed yield lodging resistance emergence disease tolerance maturity late season plant intactness plant height and shattering resistance the cultivar has shown uniformity and stability for all traits as described in the following variety description information it has been self pollinated a sufficient number of generations with careful attention to uniformity of plant type to ensure homozygosity and phenotypic stability the line has been increased with continued observation for uniformity no variant traits have been observed or are expected in 9202709 soybean cultivar 9202709 has the following morphologic and other characteristics based primarily on data collected at adel iowa 15 physiological responses average tolerance to iron chlorosis on calcareous soil this invention is also directed to methods for producing a soybean plant by crossing a first parent soybean plant with a second parent soybean plant wherein the first or second soybean plant is the soybean.
