Brief Project Summary:

Essentially all of the soybean plants in Mississippi are systemically infected with charcoal rot (Macrophomina phaseolina) three to five weeks after planting. Charcoal rot is more severe when the soybeans are under drought stress early in the season. Therefore, this project is directed at eliminating charcoal rot early in the season to make the soybean plant less susceptible to drought and other stresses later in the season.
