Brief Project Summary:

The soybean aphid, Aphis glycines, is one of the most important insect pests of soybeans in Ohio. While soybean aphid resistant cultivars have been developed, data suggests different aphid populations, or "biotypes", can feed and cause damage on these resistant lines. Successful deployment of aphid resistance genes depends on using them in areas where the aphid is less likely to overcome resistance. However, the distribution of soybean aphid biotypes is unknown and impedes efforts to manage this pest through host-plant resistance.

The research will result in a much needed biotype distribution map of aphids in Ohio and determine the resistant cultivars that will provide the most effective...

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.
