Seed treatment of soybean to control seed-borne infection is often misunderstood. Seed treatment is viewed by proponents as an inexpensive insurance policy and by opponents as not returning your investment. Targeted pathogens are mainly Phytophthora and Pythium. This research will attempt to answer the seed treatment questions by researching different locations and products with an economic yield analysis.
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.
