Drought is a major yield-limiting factor for soybean [Glycine max.] in the southern U.S.A. The ultra-short-season production system (USSPS), which uses maturity group (MG) 00 through I cultivars planted in April in Arkansas, may minimize severe yield reduction by drought since this system allows growers to harvest soybeans before severe drought occurs. The objective of this study was to evaluate yield potential and seed quality of Northern MG 00 through I soybean cultivars in a mid-South environment. Average yields of MG 00, 0 and I were 2954, 3585, and 3782 kg ha-1, respectively, under irrigated conditions. Average yield under dryland …
