Brief Project Summary:

A new soybean virus, Soybean Vein Necrosis-associated Virus (SVNaV), was widespread in Kentucky and much of the Midwest during 2012. Very little is known about this emerging virus disease, including possible yield/quality impacts, disease spread and development, variation in virus, variation in soybean response to infection, control, and interactions with other pests. At the present time, scientists do not have the ability to inoculate plants with consistency and at will; however, the virus can now be positively identified using an anti-serum/antigen based diagnostic protocol (ELISA), so detailed work on the virus in now possible. The virus has been shown to be transmitted by thrips, but...

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.
