UA54i19GT is a highly competitive glyphosate-tolerant MG5.4 indeterminate soybean variety that is broadly adapted and moves south very well. UA54i19GT has medium-tall height, great standability and good phenotypic looks, and a good disease package, including stem canker tolerance and moderate resistance to peanut root knot nematode. In addition, UA54i19GT has better than average response to flooding at vegetative stages. UA54i19GT is a 4.7 bu/ac upgrade compared to UA5414RR of similar maturity, and it is the first indeterminate MG5.4 glyphosate-tolerant unrestricted public commercial cultivar released by the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station.

UA54i19GT has White flowers, Gray pubescence, Buff hilum color, Tan pod color, and a Dull Yellow seed coat. The 100-seed count weight is 14.4g and 3,153 seeds per pound. UA54i19GT is disease and stress resistant to stem canker; moderately resistant to peanut root-knot nematode; moderately susceptible to Soybean Cyst Nematode (SCN) race 3; susceptible to SCN race 5 and southern root-knot nematode (source: 2017 USDA Soybean Uniform Southern States Tests) Better than average tolerance to flooding at vegetative stages (flood severity score 5.9 vs 6.4 test mean, p=0.08).

Osage is a determinate soybean cultivar with a relative maturity of 5.6. It has purple flowers, gray pubescence, and tan pod wall. Seeds have yellow cotyledons with dull yellow seed coat and imperfect black hila, with an average seed size of 3661 seeds per pound or 12.4 g per 100 seeds. Plants average 27 inches tall and have moderate resistance to lodging and shattering. The average protein content of Osage was 43.3%, with an oil content of 20.4%.

Osage is resistant to southern stem canker, sudden death syndrome, soybean mosaic virus, and frogeye leaf spot. It is susceptible to root knot nematode and soybean cyst nematode (races 2, 3, and 14). It is a chloride excluder.
