Depending on the environmental conditions the disease known as SDS can cause yield losses from 10 to 50%. To date, there are no chemical products that may help to control the disease. Genetic resistance is a solution that will help soybean producers increase yield potential, and protect income. The goal of this project is to develop high-yielding, SDS-resistant soybean cultivars for farmers and germplasm lines for the seed industry for maturity groups I to VI. Soybean yields drive the market and the economics of growers? agricultural business and livelihood. Soybean Diseases and environmental factors at times, become yield deterrents and may greatly affect soybean production. ...
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.
