Brief Project Summary:

Crop plants are often infected with multiple pathogens and damaged by root feeding nematodes and herbivorous insects. The combined effects can lead to severe losses in the yield. This project is a first step to studying the combined effects of multiple pathogens and pests on the soybean crop in Alabama. Specifically, the objectives are to determine the effects of bean pod mottle virus (BPMV) infection and reniform nematode infestation on soybean growth and development, and delaying BPMV infection will significantly reduce disease severity for reniform-infested plants.

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.
