Brief Project Summary:

This third year of the project will address critical limitations in identifying and managing seedling diseases. Objectives include: determining the effect of temperature, soil type/texture and pH on infection by seedling disease; characterizing the species complex associated with soybean iron chlorosis in field conditions; metagenomics analysis to improve our understanding of seedling biology and the environmental conditions that favor disease; establishing baseline inter- and intra-field variability for seedling pathogens; learning the impact of cover crops on causal agents of seedling disease; and outreach and education of findings.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, breeders, plant pathologists

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.
