Information And Results
Final Project Results

16% of the isolations identified were unknown species of Pythium and the appearance of two recently identified species, P. oopapillum and P. kashmirense, the latter of which has only been found in Kashmir, India (both were 2% of total). Currently, pathogenicity trials are being conducted on the various species of Pythium using the soybean cultivar Barnes. In addition, an analysis of the soil samples collected from the 134 soybean fields is also being conducted. We plan on finishing this project in 2013 and publishing the results for growers and the scientific community.

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.
