Brief Project Summary:

Crop plants are often infected with multiple pathogens and damaged by root feeding nematodes and herbivorous insects. The combined effects can lead to severe losses in yield. We surveyed soybean crops in Alabama for infection by plant viruses and the reniform nematode. Bean pod mottle virus (BPMV) incidence was high and appeared regional within the state. Soybean mosaic virus (SMV) was not detected in Alabama until 2009 with incidence appearing to increase but, like BPMV, is regionally located. In contrast, reniform nematode was distributed throughout the state. As BPMV and SMV incidence increase, being spread by its beetle (BPMV) or aphid vectors (SMV), yield losses due to the combined...

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.
