The decreased reliance on soil applied insecticides in corn has led to increasing prevalence of root lesion nematodes across the Midwest and in Wisconsin. Little information is available regarding the impact of root lesion nematodes on soybeans. This project will determine damage thresholds for root lesion nematodes in soybean fields and compare the damage potential for two root lesion nematode species common in Wisconsin (P. penetrans and P. scribneri).
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.
