Soybean diseases can cause substantial yield losses, affect crop rotation decisions and influence variety selection. In North Dakota there are a number of important diseases of soybean such as Phytophthora, Fusarium and Rhizoctonia root rots, soybean cyst nematode, and Pythium damping-off. Seedling diseases and root diseases have been the most common disease problems in soybean production in North Dakota. The goals of this research are to i) incorporate resistance to important diseases into public soybean germplasm and cultivars and test material for resistance to diseases in cooperation with the soybean breeder; ii) determine changes in pathogen populations which will impact disease...
All the data and information gained in this research proposal will help growers manage important diseases and understand how they affect the crop.
