Brief Project Summary:

This project will develop molecular tools (PCR primers) to quickly and accurately identify, diagnose, and quantify important root and stem pathogens in soybeans. The researchers will determine the characteristics of the most common and significant root-infecting pathogens in Minnesota and factors that contribute to their ability to cause disease and reduce yields. They will evaluate the interaction between Brown Stem Rot (BSR) and other diseases and pests, and determine the relationship between Fusarium root rot and Iron Deficiency Chlorosis.

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.
