Brief Project Summary:

This project evaluates various fungicide spray programs in small-plot experiments at research stations and in grower fields. Research collects more consistent results more often from large-scale strip tests conducted at Auburn University research stations. In this situation, we have some control over field variability, experimental methods used and replication of treatments. To determine the benefits of fungicide applications to reduce disease severity and increase crop yield on soybeans in Alabama, this research conducts 5 to 6 large-scale fungicide trials at research stations in the state. Disease severity of fungal foliar diseases will be monitored periodically and yield and seed quality will be determined at harvest.

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.
