Brief Project Summary:

The goal of this project is to investigate intensive management practices to increase seed yield and quality for North Dakota soybean growers. While soybean production has increased significantly in North Dakota, research integrating multiple factors such as water management, variety selection, planting date, plant population and seed treatments, with soybean yield and net economic return has not been done. This project is designed to provide information that will potentially increase the profitability of soybean produced in North Dakota.

The researchers will design field research that will generate information on the impact of variety selection, planting date, plant population, optimum...

Information And Results
Project Deliverables

BSR was confirmed in North Dakota based on isolation and molecular assay of the pathogen from infected soybean stems in 2011. The two surveys in 2011 and 2012 reveal the disease in 20 counties of the state . Although both genotypes A and B of the pathogen were detected in the state, the fact that genotype B is more predominant and it can infect without causing visible or typical BSR foliar symptoms on soybeans, means the disease may be occurring more than is reported.

Final Project Results

Our surveys have confirmed the pathogen and its genotypes in North Dakota. This will help us develop management recommendations for North Dakota soybean growers in the near future.

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.
