Brief Project Summary:

This research aims to determine the occurrence and distribution of viruses infecting soybean in the Delmarva region. A major goal is to provide an update on the current status of soybean viruses in the Delmarva region and partial characterization of some of the virus isolates. To determine the level of virus infection, work involves conducting a survey of soybean fields for two consecutive years. Material gathered from the surveys is used to isolate and characterize viruses. This research also evaluates soybean germplasm against virus isolates from Delmarva.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, Extension agents
