Brief Project Summary:

Soybean pathogens (e.g., bacteria, fungi, nematodes, oomycetes, and viruses) and pests (e.g., aphids, beetles, mites, and stinkbugs) cause significant economic damage to soybean yields each year. In addition, millions of dollars are spent on the application of fungicides and pesticides to reduce crop losses. However, some of these applications have impact on non-target pathogens and pests, and beneficial organisms. In this proposal, a network of on-farm soybean research sites will be established to evaluate insect, disease, and nematode management practices.

For example, fungicides used in soybean have been shown to reduce populations of entomopathogenic fungi that attack soybean aphids....

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.
