Brief Project Summary:

Soybean cyst nematodes (SCN) remain the most serious disease threat to soybeans in Kentucky. In previous studies, a strobilurin foliar fungicide applied at the early pod stage (R3) could limit yield losses caused by SCN. In these studies, yields were increased by 3-5 bu/ac when Headline (a strobilurin fungicide) was applied in the absence of fungal disease pressure and SCN pressure was moderate. The hypothesis being tested is whether applying a strobilurin fungicide could help a SCN-stressed crop compensate for damage, resulting in higher yields compared to when a fungicide is not applied.

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.
