Brief Project Summary:

Charcoal rot is an important disease for soybeans. Based on predictions about changing weather, soybean yields can be expected to be impacted by more severe charcoal rot and abiotic stresses such as water deficit stress and high evaporation demand. The goal of this project is to determine the change in seed protein and oil quality under both irrigated and rained conditions when soybean varieties with drought tolerance and charcoal rot severity are used.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, extension agents

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.
