Brief Project Summary:

Soybeans and wheat are two crops grown that do not normally include seed treatment with fungicide to control seedling disease (seed rot and damping off). Stand establishment is a problem in many soybean fields. In particular, stands appear to be more erratic in the production of full-season soybeans planted in June and July. Seedling diseases caused by the fungi Fusarium, Rhizoctonia, and Pythium may be involved in stand establishment when conditions are not ideal for germination and emergence. There are species of Pythium that are most damaging at high soil temperatures. The evaluation of seed treatments at various planting dates and under different tillage regimes may provide growers...

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.
