Brief Project Summary:

This project investigates the basic causes of poor seed quality in maturity group 4 and 5 soybeans. Efforts aim determine the specific fungal complexes responsible for infecting soybean plants in the different environments, the pathogenicity of these fungal complexes, whether plant nutrition status is correlated with seed rot the specific environmental conditions that promote seed rot in soybeans and the strategies involving fungicide/insecticide applications and application timing that can be used to reduce the impact of seed rot on harvest seed quality of soybeans when certain environmental conditions are anticipated.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, extension agents

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.
