Brief Project Summary:

Bean pod mottle virus is the most common virus infecting soybeans in the North Central States. The risk continues to grow based on surveys conducted in Iowa. In order to devise more cost effective integrated BPMV disease management programs, more knowledge is needed for the interaction between the host crop, the virus pathogen and environment. Row spacing has been reported to influence the micro-climate within the crop, thereby affecting the fungal and bacterial pathogens. The effect of row spacing on temporal and spatial dynamics of a plant virus that is vectored by insects, such as BPMV and the bean leaf beans, has not been investigated.

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.
