This project will develop the basic information on the fungus that causes charcoal rot in soybean. Charcoal rot has been increasing in several states during the past couple of years. This project will obtain information on the fungus growth, development and toxin production and results will be used to formulate research for controlling the pathogen.
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.
