The goal of this project is to use the soybean sentinel plot disease-monitoring program to alert farmers of early detection of yield-reducing foliar diseases and the occurrence of fungicide-resistant strains of these pathogens.
The expanded sentinel plot disease monitoring program will alert growers to early detection of foliar diseases and the occurrence of fungicide-resistant strains of pathogens. The network will enable farmers to use fungicides more effectively depending on the disease situation in their region.
