Purdue University Ag. Exp. Station CLARKS SOYBEAN Mimeo AY-6D (Revised) January, 1955 A. H. Probst, U. S. Regional Soybean Laboratory, U.S.D.A, and Agronomy Department, Purdue University Clark is a new high yielding, high oil content, frog-eye leaf spot resistant soybean variety. It is about 6 days later in maturity than Lincoln and about 3 days earlier than Wabash. This new variety is adapted to the southern one-half of Indiana. ORIGIN AND DEVELOPMENT. Clark is a pureline selection from the backcross Lincoln X (Lincoln X Richland). The Lincoln X Richland cross was made in 1941 by M. G. Weiss at the Iowa Agricultural Experiment Station. The backcross was made in 1942 in the greenhouse by L.F. Williams of the U. S. Regional Soybean Laboratory, Urbana, Illinois. Early generation selection and testing were done by L. F. Williams. This variety was developed cooperatively by the Midwestern Agricultural Experiment Stations of the North Central Region and the U.S. Regional Soybean Laboratory. DESCRIPTION. Clark has medium to large-sized yellow seeds with a black hilum. The seed is rather similar in shape and color to Lincoln, but slightly larger. The pods are medium to large in size, mainly two- and three-seeded, brown in color, and borne primarily on the central stem. The plants are medium to tall in height, indeterminate and usually rather erect in growth habit with purple flowers and brown pubescence. The plants are very similar to the Lincoln parent but slightly taller, about 6 days later in maturity, and they have purple flowers whereas Lincoln has white flowers. PERFORMANCE. This new variety has been grown in a number of tests at four locations in Indiana during the period of 1948-1954. The average results of these tests are given in Tables 1 and 2. ADAPTATION. Clark is well suited as a full-season variety in Indiana mainly south of a line drawn across the state through Indianapolis and Richmond. In the upper two tiers of counties in this area this variety is suited best only for early planting or in rotations where it will not be followed by wheat. Because of its higher yield and earlier maturity than Wabash and Perry it is especially well suited in southern Indiana in rotations where wheat follows soybeans. Ind southwestern Indiana, south of Vincennes, Clark may be planted under most conditions as late as June 20 and usually matures sufficiently early to permit timely seeding of wheat. Clark generally will not produce as good quality seed as Wabash in southwestern Indiana, especially when planted in early May. DISEASES. Like Lincoln and Wabash, Clark also is resistant to frog-eye leaf spot. Clark has not been observed to be any more or less susceptible to the other soybean diseases occurring in the area of adaptation than recommended varieties now grown in that area.
