Brief Project Summary:

Using soybean varieties from prominent seed companies, the researchers will conduct a replicated field study to look at Sclerotinia sclerotiorum resistance in the different soybean varieties and its effect on soybean yield. Sclerotinia stem rot or "white mold" caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a major soybean disease in north and central regions of the United States. The goal of this research will be to determine Sclerotinia resistance in soybean varieties and its effect on soybean yield. Field plots will be located at the Rutgers University Snyder Research Farm in plots previously seeded to canola (a member of the Brassica family known to be prone to Sclerotinia and produce numerous...
