In addition to yield losses of up to 50% from physical damage of the soybean aphid (SBA), they also transmit several viruses. In the long-term, host plant resistance is the solution rather than risk the cost of spray timing while having environmental consequences of killing beneficial insects. The successful evaluation of over 2,000 plant introductions that resulted in identifying two PI's with antibiosis resistance has resulted in our antibiosis SBA resistant trait release. This release requires greater informational needs as questions arise from possible commercial partners as well as updated commercial SBA resistant germplasm.
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.
