Brief Project Summary:

Fungicides are becoming increasingly popular in full-season soybean production. This project provides data on fungicide efficacy for managing common fungal diseases of soybean, monitors fungicide resistant pest populations and tracks the economic impact of foliar fungicide applications over multiple years and environments unique to Maryland. Research aims to evaluate the efficacy of foliar fungicides on full season soybeans grown on two research farms in Maryland by measuring foliar disease incidence and severity, to determine any greening or green stem effects of the fungicides, to monitor fungicide active ingredient efficacy over time and identify any fungicide insensitive foliar fungal pathogens, and to determine the yield impact of foliar fungicides and their economic impact.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, Extension agents

Information And Results
Project Deliverables

Data from this study will be published in extension publications and/or peer-reviewed crop production journals. Data will also be presented to growers at regional and statewide meetings and newsletters on an annual basis so that growers can view the most recent fungicide data for soybeans.

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.
