Brief Project Summary:

Soybean growers are facing a new threat due to an emerging disease, Soybean Vein Necrosis Virus (SVNV). First discovered in soybean fields in Tennessee in 2008, the disease has been detected in 16 states in the North Central region and Canada. Since SVNV transmission is facilitated by infestations of insects that vector the disease (thrips), it is critical to monitor insect vector populations to anticipate future epidemics. It is also important to identify new management strategies to reduce the potential impact of the disease. The research will help answer questions about SVNV spread, levels of thrips vector populations, and the benefits and risks of alternative management practices for SVNV.

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.
