Results from the proposed research will be delivered to the U.S. soybean growers and the soybean breeding community in various ways. Results of field experiments and any revised management recommendations that arise will be summarized and distributed to the public in a timely fashion via news releases, which will be shared with the production committee on the USB. Additionally, brief articles will be prepared for publication that can be distributed to every single soybean producing state to be published in the local Extension Crop Management Newsletter. Presentations will be done at winter meetings in each of the six states that the PI and Co-PI s represent. Offers to present data from this project will also be sent out to neighboring states in year two and three to cover as much of the U.S. soybean producing area as possible with oral presentations.

To relay the findings to the soybean research community, results of the proposed research will be presented in scientific journals and at numerous annual scientific meetings, when soybean agronomists, physiologists, breeders, and plant pathologists meet to discuss soybean management issues.

Since not every soybean producing state could be involved in this project, a large outreach plan has been planned. The cost to achieve this has not been included in the proposal. Estimated costs for this outreach will be approximately $25,000 per year for year two and three. Radio time could be purchased throughout the U.S. to describe the project and summarize and explain our data, a web page could be developed, fact sheets could be written and distributed either as hard copies or electronically as a pdf file, and power point presentations could be developed and distributed throughout the U.S. on a CD-Rom or downloaded from the web page.
