Brief Project Summary:

Cultivation methods and the effect on Cercospora leaf blight and purple seed stain need to be understood to prevent deterioration of seed quality. These diseases cause significant yield loss and quality issues. This project involves developing management recommendations for minimizing the effects of C. kikuchii infections. It aims to further define C. kikuchii disease development at all stages of soybean development, determine the effects of foliar fungicide applications on pathogen resistance development and the extent of fungicide resistance, evaluate the effect of seed treatment on it, explore possible alternative hosts and overwintering sites of C. kikuchii, study possible interactions between the disease and soybean insect pests and determine the effects of cultivation techniques on C. kikuchii.

Key Benefactors:

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.
