We are in the early stages of this 3-year project that addresses important question concerning the biology and control of Sclerotinia Stem Rot (SSR) in Soybean. Our project addresses several key factors that affect SSR development and management. (i) Host resistance; by identifying and implementing novel host resistance mechanisms. (ii) Investigating factors affecting fungicide efficacy in the NC States. (iii) Developing new outreach and disease management strategies.
