Brief Project Summary:

The goal of this new research project is to quantify the effect of key soilborne plant pathogens of soybean to better estimate loss and the effect of soybean variety to improve selection decisions for growers, consultants, and industry representatives.

Currently, they have established variety performance trials that examine the effect of white mold and soybean cyst nematode on an annual basis. In those trials, varieties are entered by seed companies and are tested under field conditions that are variable each growing season. This provides useful information for selected diseases, however, we recognize a need to provide greater information about specific soilborne diseases in order...

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.
