Information And Results
Project Summary

The scope of this research proposal is to investigate the efficacy of biological products against red crown rot of soybeans.

Project Objectives

The first objective is to evaluate the effect of biological seed treatments on plant growth using commercial biological products under controlled conditions in growth chambers. The second objective is to assess the effect of these biological seed treatments on disease suppression under controlled greenhouse conditions, with pots prepared with infested soil and inoculated with the pathogen.

Project Deliverables

This research aims to provide valuable insights into the management of RCR in soybean fields and the potential benefits of biological products in this context.

Knowledge on the use of biologiclas against red crown rot

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.
