Information And Results
Project Deliverables

• A Fungicide Resistance website that will be housed at the Plant Management Network.
• Three different webcasts that will focus on fungicide resistance topics that will be housed at the Plant Management Network.
• A fungicide resistance management guide that will be housed at the Plant Management Network in a high-quality, downloadable format.

Final Project Results

This project strived to ensure the sustainable performance of foliar fungicides on soybean by educating growers and the soybean industry the importance of fungicide resistance management. The availability of effective foliar fungicides is extremely important in achieving the goal of improving soybean yield and quality. Without these tools, management of important foliar diseases and maintaining yield potential becomes extremely difficult. Unfortunately, fungicide resistant soybean pathogen populations threaten the sustainable performance of fungicides. This project worked to educate the soybean industry in utilizing fungicide resistance management practices that help ensure the sustainability of these important management tools.

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.
