Brief Project Summary:

The goal of this research is to demonstrate effects of soil salinity on disease resistance of soybean cultivars to two major diseases, Phy tophthora root rot and soybean cyst nematode. The effects of low to moderate levels of salinity on resistance to major pathogens in soybean is unknown, yet we know that such levels of salinity can affect the health of the soybean plant. With the widespread problem of salinity in ND soils, we need to know if salinity affects resistance to important pathogens found in this area. Resistance is an important management tool to minimize losses to diseases. Understanding the effect of salinity on the resistance of soybean cultivars to diseases could provide...

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.
