Brief Project Summary:

Over the past few years, Dectes Stem Borer populations have been increasing statewide, causing as much as a 10 -30% yield loss due to lodging. Despite efforts to find an effective control measure to reduce the lodging losses from this insect pest, there has been little success in reducing yield losses. Results of the University of Delaware's 2009 Soybean Variety Trials indicate that there were several varieties that had significantly less lodging compared to other varieties. Two varieties that had the least and two varieties that had the greatest amount of lodging loss in the 2009 Delaware Soybean Variety Trials will be evaluated. With the introduction of new varieties and recent promising...

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.
