Brief Project Summary:

Diseases of soybean represent one of the largest yield -limiting factors in Wisconsin. Sudden death syndrome (SDS), caused by the fungus Fusarium virguliforme, has continued to spread across WI and has emerged as one of the top yield-limiting diseases in the U.S. In addition, Fusarium graminearum, the causal agent of Fusarium head blight "scab" on wheat, and ear and stalk rot on com, has recently been shown to cause a new seedling disease on soybean. Although partial disease resistance has been developed for both of these pathogens in soybean varieties, increased incidence has been noted over recent years in commercial germplasm. In addition, the impact of other management practices on Fusarium-induced...

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.
