Brief Project Summary:

In Louisiana, soybean diseases are widespread, major issue. The climate is optimal for many diseases that affect yield and seed quality. These diseases include: Cercospora leaf blight, purple seed stain, frogeye leaf spot, pod and stem blight and anthracnose. If not properly diagnosed and managed, they can cause major yield loss. This project will assist researchers in developing management recommendations. It aims to evaluate soybean varieties in the LSU AgCenter Official Soybean Variety Trials for resistance to pathogens common to the region, evaluate commercially available and experimental fungicides for soybean disease management and quantify disease losses in selected soybean varieties to determine when/if fungicide applications are necessary.

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.
