Brief Project Summary:

Mr. Jie Wang, has developed a real-time PCR (DNA) assay which allows us to quantify the amount of SDS fungus in soil, plant and nematode samples. We plan to use this assay to investigate the interaction of SDS and SCN and to rapidly identify fields with SDS. The assay is also very useful as a diagnostic tool to confirm the diagnosis of SDS symptomatic plants. We will offer this service to industry and growers to assist in identifying and promoting knowledge with regards to SDS biology and management.

Although fungicide seed treatments have not demonstrated any benefit to date, a new fungicide seed treatment has demonstrated potential for SDS management. We plan to investigate the effect...

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.
