Brief Project Summary:

The specific objectives of this project are to:

• Characterize the frequency of Fusarium species associated with soybean root in Iowa, the occurrence of SDS foliar symptoms, and the occurrence of Fusarium virguliforme in soils from Iowa soybean fields.

• Determinate aggressiveness of predominant Fusarium species towards soybean.
• Estimate potential yield loss caused by Fusarium root rot on soybeans.
• Determine the effect of SCN infestation and SCN resistance on Fusarium root rot colonization and root rot.
• Characterize the current SDS resistance in relation to root infection; and
• Measure effects of agronomic practices (planting date, maturity group, row spacing)...

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.
