Brief Project Summary:

This project is intended to develop effective strategies for managing various diseases that impact soybean yields in Minnesota. The researcher will determine which environmental factors increase Fusarium root rot caused by F. oxysporum and F. solani, and if root rot and plant damage is more severe when Fusarium root rot pathogens, Rhizoctonia, and/or brown stem rot interact. Various common fungicides will be evaluated to determine if they can suppress the various pathogens. The project will also test different methods to initiate high levels of white mold in field plots for research on management strategies. This project will also develop and deliver soybean disease management information...

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.
