Out of the traditional soybean-breeding program has come another superior soybean, OAC Erin. It was registered in 1996 and two years later had managed to produce higher yields than all other soybean varieties in southern Manitoba.
OAC Erin matures five days earlier than OAC Bayfield and has better lodging and white mould tolerance. More significant, OAC Erin has a yellow hylum that makes it acceptable for foodgrade soybean production.
OAC Erin was developed through the combined efforts of Profs. Jack Tanner and Bruce Luzzi, Plant Agriculture. This research was sponsored by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and the Ontario Soybean Growers’ Marketing Board.
