This objective will: 1) Use sentinel plots, research locations, producers' fields, and mobile scouting sites, to develop estimates of diseases and pests present, disease severity and associated yield loss. 2) Continue regular surveys of soybean aphids and correlate in-field densities with aphid captures in suction traps. Where possible, determine impact of insect injury on yield using estimates from insecticide-treated and non-treated areas/plots; and 3) Compile an annual report on disease and insect occurrence in the state.
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.
