Brief Project Summary:

Plant-parasitic nematodes are the most serious pest to soybean production in the Southern U.S. In Mississippi, they have three major species, which include soybean cyst, reniform and root knot nematodes. Although the soybean cyst is specific to soybean as a host, the reniform and root-knot will feed and reproduce on many Mississippi crops.

Soybean varieties have been identified with resistance to one or more races of soybean cyst and reniform nematodes found in Mississippi. With the increased soybean production in Mississippi there is a need for up-to-date listing of varieties with resistance/tolerance to these nematodes.

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.
