Seed treatments will be examined for their role in the management of SDS and SCN. Bayer Crop Sciences fungicide seed treatment ILeVO was registered in 2015, and in response a number of companies are testing additional products.We will test our current diagnostic assays as means of pre-plant SDS risk assessment and work on an assay to quantify Fusarium brasiliense, a newly discovered SDS causing species in Michigan.We will work with the MSU soybean breeding program to screen mapping populations and AYT lines for SDS resistance in the field. SDS inoculum will be produced in the Chilvers laboratory for the inoculation of SDS field screening trials on the Agronomy farm. We will use our real-time...
Performance of the PhD student and project progress will be evaluated monthly through lab meetings.Resources developed such as isolate collections will be made available to soybean breeders for the screening of germplasm resistance.
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.
