Brief Project Summary:

The occurrence of the Dectes stem borer, Dectes texanus, is increasing in parts of Kansas. However, the reason for this expansion is not known but may be attributed to the availability of alternate hosts, winter survival and other environmental factors.

Information And Results
Project Deliverables

Resistance to stem borer damage is heritable and can be selected for individual soybean plants.

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.
