Past studies have shown a differential dependency for growth of soybean varieties on vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungi. VAM fungi have been implicated in SCN infections and IDC severity. This is the final year of a project designed to determine the interactive effects of SCN population densities, VAM fungal densities and iron-deficiency chlorosis (IDC) severity on soybean nutrient uptake and growth. The outcome of the research will increase management options for reducing the effects of IDC and SCN on soybean yields.
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.
