Brief Project Summary:

The objective is to expand the research program that currently is evaluating broad spectrum insect resistance of the pyramided Benning lines with native insect resistant traits on QTLs M,G,H, and E and with transgenic insecticidal resistance (Bt) and to emphasize research on the Kudzu bug during 2011. The goal is to identify the best combination of resistance traits that will protect Benning soybean throughout development (seedlings, vegetative and reproductive stages) against major pests in Georgia including the lesser cornstalk borer and three cornered alfalfa hopper which are pests of seedling plants, various defoliating insects (corn earworm, soybean looper, velvet bean caterpillar...

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.
