This project work includes screening advanced soybean germplasm populations, characterizing the resistance to the multiple pathogens in these populations, providing soybean breeders with lines and genetic markers to begin to incorporate these key soybean genomic regions into Ohio varieties and germplasm and identifying and evaluating management strategies, genetic resistance, cultural practices, and efficacy of seed treatments impacting the key soybean pathogens associated with reduced yields across Ohio's variable production regions.
