Brief Project Summary:

Asian Soybean Rust severity varies by year due to survival on the kudzu overwintering host, even in the absence of ASR these fungicide trials yield valuable data on control of other foliar diseases such as frogeye, target spot and Cercospora leaf blight.

Information And Results
Project Deliverables

Fungicide tank-mix and sequential trials will be continued at Auburn University Research Stations. Due to consistent annual rust infections across the state, the Gulf Coast REC will be the primary location for ASR investigations. Other locations in central and north AL will be included in the event that rust moves across the state, and to provide information on other important diseases. Northern locations will utilize varieties relatively susceptible to frogeye leaf spot, for fungicide resistance monitoring. Trial will consist of combinations of fungicide applications at early bloom/pod set, followed by one or more applications of the same or different fungicides at 14 to 21 intervals. As new products and classes become available, they will be included in these trials.

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.
