White mold is said to be the second most important disease of soybean in Michigan and continues as a challenge to Michigan soybean production. Partial resistant varieties and agronomic practices are relied upon for control measures. This project will research the possibilities of using commercially available biological control of soil sclertoia to disrupt the disease cycle. During the past two years the research team has conducted greenhouse and field studies to test bio-control products for reducing sclerotia in soil. They report that no viable sclerotia were retrieved from the Contans treated soil; the greatest effect was from a fall application followed by a spring treatment; and...
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.
