Brief Project Summary:

Frog eye leaf spot is caused by the fungus Cercospora sojina. The disease is common in most soybean growing regions of the world and was abundant in Georgia’s state variety trial plots in 2018. The most successful method for controlling FLS involves the use of resistant soybean cultivars. Elite germplasm from the University of Georgia breeding program are screened for frogeye resistance annually. However, it is unknown what races of C. sojina are established in Georgia. In addition, isolates of C. sojina resistant to QoI fungicides, such as pyraclostrobin, have been reported in the U.S. This work aims to identify those races.

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.
