Update:
Mini surveys were conducted in MD and DE soybean field for identifying parasitic nematodes in soybean-producing counties. The results were disseminated to MD farmers through a Factsheet published in UMD Agronomy News. We also prepared and published another Factsheet providing details on how to correctly sample the soils for nematode analysis in the same issue. Attached are the published factsheets being submitted as deliverables of the project. We received funding for Year-1 only, and did not revise the project for Year-2 because of Covid-19. Students could not be hired in 2020 summer and fall season and the PI had limited access to her lab and the field.
