Brief Project Summary:

Field surveys conducted in 2008 and 2009 indicate high levels of bean pod mottle virus (BPMV) and soybean mosaic virus (SMV) in some fields in Alabama. A plant's reaction to virus infection depends on several factors including the age of the soybean plant at time of the infection. Soybean planted later in the season may be exposed to higher levels of these viruses. This study will determine the time of infection of BPMV and SMV in double-cropped soybean fields, and the yield loss and seed quality effects of soybeans infected with BPMB and/or SMV.

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.
