White mold is said to be the second most important disease of soybean in Michigan and continues as a challenge to Michigan soybean production. Partial resistant varieties and agronomic practices are relied upon for control measures. This project will research the possibilities of using commercially available biological controls. In 2007 research yielded mixed results; greenhouse and growth chamber experiments were encouraging in controlling the apothecial germination, but the product results didn't relate to field data. The field research protocol will be changed in 2008 to increase plot size and locations as well as refining the procedure for higher disease pressure. The researchers...
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.
