Missouri partners on the pest project which is focused on varietal tolerance for cercospora leaf blight, frogeye leaf spot and stinkbug. All of these diseases/insects are important pests in the mid-south and in the delta region of Missouri.
• The key outcome will be high yielding, locally adapted soybean cultivars that are resistant to both stink bugs and diseases.• A germplasm set and genetic markers will be created to easily incorporate resistance into new cultivars.
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.
