Brief Project Summary:

Every year U.S. soybean harvests are reduced 10-70% by a host of known and emerging Soybean Diseases and pests. While traditional methods of control have proved successful at times, building resistance to pathogens and insects in the cultivars is imperative if growers are to improve yields and reduce loss due to pests and pathogens. The overall goal of this program is to improve soybean yield by reducing the impact of diseases and pests in Illinois. The managed project is designed to create interaction between researchers and improve Communications between researchers and Illinois soybean grower leaders.

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.
