Brief Project Summary:

SDS is a significant production restrain for soybean producers in Illinois. Despite advances in host resistance, research is still needed to elucidate the mechanism involved in disease development. Limitations for the needed studies include the relatively small amount of characterized fungal isolate available for researchers and the high costs associated with maintaining the collections. This project will complement the efforts of the researchers in NCSRP SDS Research Alliance who are building a collection of Fusarium virguliforme isolates mainly from Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin.

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.
