Brief Project Summary:

1. Improve fungicide management of white mold:
-Determine conditions necessary for white mold spore release and when plants become infected, to improve timing of foliar fungicides and management decisions, such as irrigation.
-Evaluate foliar fungicide and biological products and application timing for improved white mold management.

2. Investigate the profitability of foliar fungicides in the absence of disease

3. Screen soybean germplasm for white mold resistance
-Screening of promising WM resistant germplasm from Dr. Craig Grau
-Facilitate screening of WM resistant lines from Dr. Dechun Wang

4. Provide white mold management education to growers and CCA's
