Brief Project Summary:

Root health is essential to crop production and improved understanding of seedling and root rot diseases is needed to develop improved root health management strategies. This project will address areas that have not been adequately studied and are prime candidates for additional research in developing a more in-depth understanding of the diseases that reduce soybean yields.

Information And Results
Project Deliverables

Better understanding of root rot diseases such as Pythium and Phytophthora sojae on seed disease and root heath.

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.
