Brief Project Summary:

The goal of this research is to minimize frogeye leaf spot damage to soybeans in Virginia. This foliar disease is increasing in severity in the state. This research program is designed to evaluate the genetic component of frogeye leaf spot and using advanced molecular techniques (marker assisted selection) to develop germplasm lines with resistance to the disease.

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.
