Brief Project Summary:

Continued, unbiased research on disease management tools provides information on cultural practices, cultivar resistance and fungicide efficacy to guide production decisions. Multiple parts to this project address that need. It implements and monitors a statewide sentinel program to screen samples for early detection and population shifts of soybean pests and diseases including soybean rust, frogeye leaf spot, septoria brown spot, target spot and cercospora blight. The project also evaluates soybean cultivars and various fungicides in high to low disease pressure situations to determine yield potential, efficacy and value, as well as fungicide resistance screening. And, it evaluates different cover crop species disease potential for pathogens of soybean.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, extension agents

Final Project Results

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.
