Brief Project Summary:

This project will develop molecular tools (PCR primers) to quickly and accurately identify, diagnose, and quantify important root and stem pathogens in soybeans. The primary objective of this project is to characterize the impact of soil borne diseases in Minnesota that affect root and stem health and reduce soybean yields. The researchers will be using field surveys and field research to accomplish this objective. In addition, there will be efforts to develop management strategies for reducing the yield impact of various soybean root and stem diseases. Another specific objective will be to determine how the brown stem rot (BSR) pathogen infects, susceptible and resistant soybean varieties,...

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.
