Brief Project Summary:

The soybean aphid, Aphis glycines, is the most important insect pest of soybeans in Ohio. While soybean aphid resistant cultivars have been developed, data suggests different aphid populations, or "biotypes", can overcome resistant soybean plants. Successful deployment of aphid resistant genes depends on using them in areas where the aphid is less likely to overcome resistance. However, observations suggest that biotypes may arise quickly, necessitating more detailed studies in multi-genic soybean aphid resistance and how soybean aphid biotypes spread and become established.

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.
