ABSTRACT
Osage soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] (Reg. No. CV-495, PI 648270) was developed and released by the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station as a Maturity Group V conventional cultivar in March 2007. It was derived from the cross Hartz 5545 x KS4895 and has been evaluated in 130 field tests in several southern states. Osage is widely adapted to areas between 33 and 37°N latitude and has high yield potential and moderately high protein content. Overall, when grown in southern environments, Osage had seed yield 3.2% greater than the check 5601T and 3.3% greater than the check 5002T. Seed protein of Osage is 3.1% and 5.4% greater than 5601T and 5002T, respectively. Osage is resistant to several important diseases in the Mid-South USA, including southern stem canker, sudden death syndrome, soybean mosaic virus, and frogeye leaf spot.
