Brief Project Summary:

Two soilborne diseases, Neocosmospora Rot and Black Root Rot were identified in soybeans in Arkansas during 2008-09. Yield loss was not determined, but was estimated by producers to be substantial for some fields. Sudden Death Syndrome of soybeans is also prevalent in soybean fields in certain years and continues to result in yield losses. Because all three of these pathogens appear to be primarily early season (cool soil temperature) pathogens, there is a need to understand their impact on soybeans in an early season production system. Strategies have not been developed for managing Neocosmospora or Thielaviopsis, but cultivar resistance could provide the most effective means of control...

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.
