Fusarium solani root rot is one of the most significant root rot problems in Minnesota. This is the second year of a study intended to develop a screening technique to identify cultivars that could be used as parent material in a breeding program to introduce Fusarium solani root rot resistance into marketable soybean varieties. This will be done by identifying soybean cultivars that exhibit resistance or partial resistance to colonization by Fusarium solani under optimal infection conditions. Then determine if SCN infection increases the severity of root rot and determine the minimum SCN population that is required to increase the severity. Finally, they will verify if the partial resistance...
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.
