Brief Project Summary:

Recently, agronomists have found frogeye leaf spot in North Dakota for the first time. The pathogen overwinters in seed and residue, so it is possible the disease could become an issue. The disease can be managed with fungicides, but the pathogen has become resistant in some U.S. locations to the FRAC 11 group of fungicides. This project will determine how widespread frogeye leaf spot is and if the pathogen is resistant to FRAC 11 fungicides. Researchers will also evaluate fungicide efficacy in two trials and develop skills to work with frogeye leaf spot in laboratory, greenhouse and field studies. 

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, applicators, extension specialists

Information And Results
Project Deliverables

Information will be used to help develop management recommendations for North Dakota soybean growers for 2021. Hopefully, the analysis will be completed prior to winter meeting. Recommendations will be distributed by as many means as possible, include through NDSU Extension, media and many partners in the private sector.

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.
