Diseases can be a major problem for soybean production in North Dakota, especially in areas with a long history of production. The primary goals of this project are to develop controls for the major soybean diseases in North Dakota and to inform growers about changes in diseases and pathogens that could affect soybean production. The objectives are 1) to screen breeding lines and cultivars for resistance to major soybean pathogens and 2) to monitor soybean-pathogen populations for new, virulent strains. Incorporating disease-resistance genes into soybeans gives growers a tool for disease management and understanding what pathogens or pathogen races are important in North Dakota and will...
~Knowledge of the resistance of breeding lines and cultivars to major soybean pathogens (SCN, Phytophthora, soybean viruses). ~Knowledge of the distribution of soybean pathogen populations in North Dakota.
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.
