Brief Project Summary:

Several soybean pathogens have re-emerged as yield robbers in Ohio, primarily due to very wet springs, resistance to fungicide seed treatment and varieties with low levels of resistance. This project aims to identify the best disease management practices for Ohio’s challenging environments and changing pathogen populations. The first goal is identifying resistance to the many pathogens that affect soybean and the markers and genes that define the region in the genome that contribute to trait expression. The second is to identify seed treatment and foliar fungicides with the greatest efficacy towards mitigating losses when disease does develop. The third is to monitor the changing pathogen populations including the adaptation to common fungicides.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, extension agents, soybean breeders, seed companies

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.
