Brief Project Summary:

Identify varieties with resistance to southern root knot nematode. Southern root-knot nematode is one of the most devastating plant pathogens in the world. Virtually all crops grown in Illinois are hosts for this pathogen; however soybean and vegetable crops are the most susceptible. Prior research funded by ISA demonstrated that this pathogen can reduce soybean yield by 25-70% depending on the planting date. This project will continue to evaluate soybean cultivars for resistance.

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.
