Brief Project Summary:

Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a fungal pathogen with a worldwide distribution, causing disease on over 400 plant species and up to $252M in losses per year on sunflower, soybeans, dry edible beans, canola, and pulse crops (U.S. Canola Association, 2014). S. sclerotiorum causes considerable damage to soybean and has proven difficult to control (culturally or chemically), with host resistance to this fungus being mostly inadequate. In the temperate north central soybean production areas of the United States, Sclerotinia stem rot (SSR) can be a significant yield limiting disease, with reported losses more than 10 million bushels (270 million kg) per year (Peltier et al., 2012). These impacts...

Information And Results
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.
