Brief Project Summary:

Soybean diseases can cause substantial yield losses, affect crop rotation decisions and influence variety selection. In North Dakota there are a number of important diseases of soybean such as Phytophthora, Fusarium and Rhizoctonia root rots, soybean cyst nematode, and Pythium damping-off. Seedling diseases and root diseases have been the most common disease problems in soybean production in North Dakota. The use of resistance genes to control major diseases is an important part of our efforts to reduce losses from disease. One objective of this project is to incorporate resistance to diseases such as soybean cyst nematode and Phytophthora root rot into public soybean cultivars. In addition,...
