Brief Project Summary:

Soybean Diseases reduce soybean yields and profits. The main goals of this research are to: 1) Incorporate resistance to important diseases into public soybean germplasm and cultivars. 2) Determine the changes occurring in the pathogen populations which will impact disease control and 3) Determine if there are new diseases that threaten soybean production in North Dakota.

The project provides for screening of breeding lines and cultivars for resistance to SCN and Phytophthora sojae and other pathogens that threaten the soybean crop and monitoring soybeans for new pathogens such as rust, sudden death syndrome, viruses and new virulent strains of established pathogens.

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.
