Information And Results
Project Deliverables

Task 1. Provide new sources of resistance to incorporate into commercial varieties
Task 2. Provide new markers for breeders to use to speed up variety release
Task 3. More clearly define environmental variables that influence charcoal rot development.
Task 4. Identify how common production practices influence disease. Provide economic data to strengthen implementation of suggested management practices.
Task 5. Provide plant pathologists and breeders with a set of host differentials to characterize
M. phaseolina. Characterize pathogen diversity to create area-specific management recommendations.
Task 6. Create improved screening tools and measures to screen both broad sets of germplasm for discovery of CR resistance and also to screen CR resistance within elite commercial varieties, so that seed companies can more accurately and uniformly rate their varieties.
Task 7. Provide stakeholders with updated research-based information on charcoal rot management in print, web-based, and video formats. Improve communication and partnerships with industry.

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.
