Brief Project Summary:

Foliar fungicide applications on soybean have received much attention since the discovery of Asian soybean rust in 2004 and this attention has also increased the interest in determining under what situations and for which Soybean Diseases will fungicide applications be cost-effective. Cercospora leaf blight and purple seed stain caused by the same organism can lead to yield loss and dockage at the elevator. This is a disease that is increasing in intensity in several soybean production areas in the U.S.
