Brief Project Summary:

The overall goal of the research program is to improve resistance in cultivars and germplasm lines to diseases and stress factors of economic importance in Iowa. Genetic resistance is the most durable, economic, and environmentally friendly means to protect soybean yields and growers' income.

The project's objectives are to improve soybean's genetic resistance to Phytophthora root rot (PRR); brown stem rot (BSR); soybean cyst nematode (SCN); sudden death syndrome (SDS); iron deficiency chlorosis (IDC); and emerging stress factors. Resistance will be incorporated in project-developed-lines selected for high-yield.

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.
