Brief Project Summary:

Pennsylvania soybean production may be facing a new threat in soybean vein necrosis tosporvirus, a viral disease that has been reported in most soybean growing states. The disease causes development of shriveled, deformed seeds with reduced germination percentage and decrease in oil percentage, seed weight, protein content and fiber content. This project aims to better understand the disease incidence, distribution and impact on crops.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, extension agents
