Brief Project Summary:

Soybean vein necrosis virus belongs to the tospovirus group, which is vectored by thrips and possibility other insects. Currently, there is little known about this new virus and there are no management recommendations. By focusing on disease basics, this research answers questions about if/when this disease will be a problem. With the identification of thrips species that vector it, scouting can determine their threat. These data will help farmers and agronomists better understand if and when spraying insecticide will manage thrips and this virus. This will provide information for integrated pest management. Work also determine if SVNV affects soybean yield or seed quality and if other host plants are important virus development.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, Extension agents

Information And Results
Project Deliverables

• Increased knowledge of what thrips are in proximity to soybean fields and when to scout for thrips in Iowa.
• Better understand if and when spraying insecticide can manage thrips and control of SVNV. This will provide information for how management of SVNV can be done using an integrated system.
• Better understanding of which cover crops are important for the development of SVNV.
• Informational talks and publications for growers explaining how these findings can be applied to their operations

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.
