Soybean cyst nematode (SCN) continues to be a major threat to grower profitability. In recent years, SCN has spread all the way to the Red River Valley and more and more frequently, nematode isolates can overcome resistant varieties. Clearly, better resistant cultivars are needed to control a broader range of SCN races while also providing yield stability. A primary objective of the University of Minnesota breeding program is developing Minnesota-adapted soybeans with robust SCN resistance in order to expand the options available for Minnesota growers. Here we propose continuing research to enhance SCN disease marker-based selection. Our project expands the use of novel resistance...
Continued development of Minnesota-adapted soybeans with robust SCN resistance.
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.
