Brief Project Summary:

White mold is a constant threat to soybean production in Michigan. Some growers report yield losses due to white mold on a yearly basis. Foliar fungicides do provide some protection from white mold; however, they vary in their efficacy. The objective of this proposal is to screen commercial fungicide products for control of white mold and to relay this information to Michigan soybean producers. We will establish soybeans under a high pressure white mold disease environment at the MSU Montcalm Research Center. Foliar fungicide treatments will be applied to the soybeans under a randomized complete block design. White mold ratings of all plots will be taken prior to and at the R6 growth stage....

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.
