Over the last six years, a core group of mid-western scientists including Dr. DiFonzo at MSU has conducted research on the soybean aphid (SBA). Successful research has addressed threshold recommendations (250 SBA/plant), bio-control and host plant resistant evaluations as well as the development of a suction trap network for researching predictive models. Since host plant resistance has now been identified by several universities, much of the earlier research is now needed when using resistant soybean germplasm. With well established inoculation methods, the screening of various host plant resistant sources must be evaluated across environments. The 2009 results of this continuing...
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.
