This project has previously identified the Pythium species that are present in a representative sample of soils from Minnesota soybean growing areas and determined their occurrence and prevalence. The Pythium isolates will be evaluated for their pathogenicity on selected Public and Private soybean cultivars considered either resistant or susceptible and on corn because the role of corn as a rotational crop with soybeans. Because current management recommendations emphasize the use of fungicidal seed treatments for limiting stand loss and damping-off and because of reports of decreasing sensitivity to seed treatment fungicides, the isolates will be tested for their sensitivity to seed treatments,...
1. Knowledge of the pathogenicity of Pythium species on soybeans and corn. 2. Knowledge of the sensitivity of Pythium isolates to metalaxyl, trifoloxystrobin, and azoxystrobin.
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.
