Brief Project Summary:

The researchers will determine the impact of six coumarin derivative seed treatments as seed protectants against early season seed rot and blight disease seedling loss and also charcoal rot fungus infection. They will determine the impact of coumarin derivative seed treatments on soybean yields, and determine if coumarin derivatives applied to soybean seed in varying rates, will significantly impact seedling infection rates, soybean growth, development and yield in the presence of charcoal rot fungus. The novel seed treatments will be compared against commercially available antifungal seed treatment compounds to determine efficacy, host range activity, unique characteristics and cost-effectiveness...

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.
