Brief Project Summary:

This project will characterize fungal viruses identified in TN-14, an isolate of Arkansas fungus-18 (ARF-18), provisionally named Brachyphoris riggsii (Bradshaw, Kirkpatrick and Bluhm, unpublished), a biocontrol agent for the soybean cyst nematode (SCN). Five other fungal species with nematicidal properties will also be tested for viruses. Virus effect on host physiology will be determined. This will make commercialization of these potent biocontrol agents feasible.

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.
