Brief Project Summary:

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.
Seed treatments will be examined for their role in the management of SDS and SCN. Bayer Crop Sciences fungicide seed treatment ILeVO was registered for SDS and SCN in 2015, and in response a number of companies are testing additional products. We screen these new treatments and work with colleagues in neighboring states to validate company claims.
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...

Information And Results
Project Deliverables

Performance of the PhD student and project progress will be evaluated monthly through lab meetings. Project performance will also be assessed in discussion with agribusiness and piers at neighboring universities. Resources developed such as isolate collections will be made available to soybean breeders for the screening of germplasm resistance.

Final Project Results

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.
