Brief Project Summary:

This project will develop the basic information on the fungus that causes charcoal rot in soybean. Charcoal rot has been increasing in several states during the past couple of years. This project will obtain information on the fungus growth, development and toxin production and results will be used to formulate research for controlling the pathogen.
