Brief Project Summary:

This project will screen fungi that are parasites of nematode eggs and/or that show ability to colonize soybean roots for antagonism of either the soybean cyst nematode (SCN) and/or soybean sudden death syndrome (SDS). This will complete screening work currently funded through the MSRPC in 2016 and will focus on taking this research to the next step 1) conducting thorough chemical analysis of extracts that show toxic activity to identify antagonistic compounds, and 2) screening of promising biocontrol fungi using different soil types, moisture regimes, and application methods in greenhouse trials. These greenhouse trials will identify which candidates can robustly control SCN numbers...

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.
