Registration of 'Cavalier' Soybean

'Cavalier' soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] (Reg. No. CV-499, PI 654358) was first tested as ND02-2019, and was developed by the North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station, North Dakota State University. Cavalier was released in January 2008 and is a Maturity Group 00 conventional cultivar (00.7), generally adapted as a full-season cultivar from 48 to 49° N latitude. Cavalier was released because it has (i) resistance to race 4 of Phytophthora sojae (M.J. Kaufmann and J.W. Gerdemann), (ii) high yield in North Dakota environments, (iii) lodging resistance, and (iv) tolerance to iron-deficiency chlorosis.
