Brief Project Summary:

Drought and salinity stress reduce soybean yields and can affect insect pest populations. Understanding how to adjust insect pest management in interaction with stress management is needed. These experiments also provide insight on whether stressed soybean fields are more susceptible to key insects and pests than non-stressed fields. Developing management recommendations are the goal of this project. The work aims to develop streamlined methods to evaluate the effects of drought and salt stress on insects and pests.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, Extension agents

Information And Results
Final Project Results

The United Soybean Research Retention policy will display final reports with the project once completed but working files will be purged after three years. And financial information after seven years. All pertinent information is in the final report or if you want more information, please contact the project lead at your state soybean organization or principal investigator listed on the project.
