Brief Project Summary:

The soybean aphid has been a major pest of soybean in North America since its initial invasion in 2000. Direct damage from soybean aphid infestation has been estimated to cause yield losses of up to $2.4 billion annually, and severe infestation reduces yield by more than 50%. Aphid infestations in Ohio were widespread in 2009. Soybean varieties have been developed with resistance to the soybean aphid and host-plant resistant soybeans will be commercially available for the first time in 2010. However, the benefit and sustainability of these new lines is threatened by the presence of two to three soybean aphid biotypes, which can survive and reproduce on aphid-resistant soybeans. Therefore,...

Information And Results
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.
