The goal of the research is to characterize the frequency of Fusarium species from soybean roots and soil, determine how these Iowa isolates are impacting soybean yield, and to improve management of SDS and the rest of the Fusarium complex through agronomic practices, soybean cyst nematode (SCN) management, and resistance to Fusarium infection of roots.
The research team will:
~ Characterize the frequency of Fusarium species associated with soybean roots in Iowa, the occurrence of SDS foliar symptoms, and the occurrence of Fusarium virguliforme in soils from Iowa soybean field.
~ Determine the aggressiveness of predominant Fusarium species towards soybean.
~ Estimate potential...
