The goal of this ten state project is to develop management options for two Soybean Diseases, frogeye leaf spot and charcoal rot, which are expanding in the North Central region. Specifically, the researchers are evaluating genetic resistance to these diseases, developing techniques for assaying resistance, characterizing prominent pathotypes of the pathogens, and updating technical information on the incidence, severity and management. For both diseases, host resistance is the focus of the group to deliver long-term management options for the producer.
