This study will refine screening methods for evaluating the susceptibility of soybeans to Fusarium virguliforme (SDS), Phialophora gregata (BSR), Phytophthora sojae and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (White Mold); and, develop methods for evaluating the susceptibility of soybean lines to Phakopsora pachyrhiza (Asian Soybean Rust). The researchers will conduct disease resistance evaluations of commercial soybean cultivars, PIs, and breeding lines using the procedures that are developed.
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.
