Soybean pathogens in soil and plants will be quantified in small plots receiving foliar-applied products, seed applied fungicides and seed applied nematicides applications. Soil, plant roots, stems, pods, and seeds will be collected, DNA extracted and pathogens quantified by qPCR, and data will be used to correlate to disease rating and yield as a function of foliar-applied products, seed applied fungicides and seed applied nematicides. Leaf samples will be collected to determine the effects of insect management and cultivar selection and their association with soybean vein necrosis-associated virus incidence and symptom severity.
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.
