Brief Project Summary:

The proposed project will assess the gains in Sclerotinia stem rot (SSR) control in improving soybean yield, and soybean quality that North Dakota producers can obtain by integrating the use of partially resistant soybean varieties with fungicides. Susceptible and partially resistant soybean varieties from two maturity groups will be evaluated under three fungicide treatments and a non-treated control. The trial will be established under the NDSU Carrington Research Extension Center's misting system and inoculated to ensure consistent disease pressure throughout the trial. They anticipate that information generated by this project will lead to improved disease control, reduced economic losses,...

Information And Results
Project Deliverables

This collection is the largest data set with the most comparisons of various company varieties (Roundup Ready, LibertyLink and non-GMO) for North Dakota and western Minnesota. Because the data are averaged across four locations with four replications per location, the data are quite reliable in helping growers select the best varieties for their IDC-prone fields. These data enable growers to increase their yield on IDC-prone fields because varieties with the least amount of yellow IDC symptoms will yield the best for fields that have that problem.

Final Project Results

The date enables growers to increase their yield on IDC-prone fields because varieties with the least amount of yellow IDC symptoms will yield the best for fields that have that problem.

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.
