Brief Project Summary:

Soybean rust and other foliar diseases, such as Aerial web blight, target spot, frogeye leafspot and Cercospora leaf blight have caused significant damage to soybeans in recent years, when weather conditions favored development. Since 2011, frogeye leafspot has been found to be resistant to strobilurin fungicides, showing the need to continue testing new fungicides. This project evaluates how best to use different timings and combinations of products to control foliar diseases that can affect soybean yield and cause quality losses. It also monitors for disease resistance to fungicides.

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.
