Brief Project Summary:

The goal of this continuing research project is to further our understanding of Fusarium oxysporum, which is the most common Fusarium species infecting soybean roots in Iowa. While some strains of F. oxysporum are aggressive pathogens of seedlings and roots of adult plants, others are weakly pathogenic. Through this proposal and a complementary proposal to USB, we hope to more thoroughly describe the populations of Fusarium oxysporum found on soybean roots, in terms of genetic variability, virulence, fungicide sensitivity, and adaptation to environmental conditions. This information will help to distinguish among pathogenic and non-pathogenic strains so that disease caused by F. oxysporum...

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.
