The purpose of this study is to examine a potential mechanism regulating soybean aphid populations on an individual plant level. The study will determine whether vascular diseases of soybeans have an effect on soybean aphid reproductive (offspring per female) and colonization (emigration and immigration) rates. The project includes both greenhouse and field components.
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.
