Brief Project Summary:

Soilborne seedling and root diseases of soybean significantly reduce yields in the North Central region of the United States. Seedling diseases rank among the top 4 pathogen threats to soybean, because their insidious nature makes them difficult to diagnose and control. It is nearly impossible to predict when they will take a heavy toll, until it happens. The challenges and failures of managing soilborne diseases and pathogens of soybean and other crops are based in part on limitations in knowledge and methods.

This project will address critical limitations in identifying and managing seedling diseases. Producers and industry will see benefits in the form of rapid diagnostics and management...

Final Project Results

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.
