Brief Project Summary:

This project will identify management practices that help reduce soybean losses to pests and increase profitability by conducting on-farm research trials throughout Illinois. Projects include: evaluating disease, insect and nematode management practices; visual assessments to monitor diseases and to assess insect and soybean cyst nematode populations based on management practices; quantitative detection to monitor pathogens and soybean cyst nematode populations based on management practices; and sequence-based detection techniques to monitor microbial (target and non-target organisms) populations based on management practices.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, breeders, plant pathologists, entomologists
