Brief Project Summary:

The researchers will screen all cultivars in the 2008 Official Variety Test for frogeye leaf spot, stem canker, root-knot nematode, reniform nematode, and soybean cyst nematode resistance in the field nurseries and greenhouse studies. They will evaluate last year's promising root-knot resistant cultivars in their root-knot nursery field near Dermott, AR. The variety test locations and sentinel rust plots will be monitored for the development of Asian soybean rust and foliar diseases. The various diseases will be rated for severity and the researchers will make available the screening data to Cooperative Extension Service personnel by December 1st. The data will also be published on the...
