Brief Project Summary:

The ultimate goal of this continuing project is to provide long-term and higher forms of resistance to control soybean stem diseases that cause premature death and reduced yields. Brown stem rot (BSR), white mold and stem canker are the focus of this project since soybean breeders are developing more sources of genetic resistance. Research indicates that higher and more stable forms of white mold resistance are needed to consistently manage the disease. Data suggest that BSR is reducing yield even when symptom severity is relatively low. The proposed project is a continuing of a checkoff-funded project and builds on previous findings and germplasm developed by these efforts. New insight...

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.
