Brief Project Summary:

Plant diseases inflict heavy losses on soybean yield with significant negative impact on the U.S. economy. Research must focus on management of disease that causes extensive damage to soybean yield and quality. Soybean yield losses of 10-55 percent have been reported as a consequence of SMV and BPMV infection. Furthermore, BPMV interacts synergistically with SMV in doubly infected soybean plants with drastic yield reduction (60-80 percent) and seed quality.

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.
