Brief Project Summary:

Soybean farmers lack resistant varieties for major diseases and pests that have long plagued the Mid-South region and are a growing threat to the Midwest. The purpose of this project is to identify and develop sources of resistance for Frogeye Leaf Spot, Cercospora Leaf Blight, and the stink bug complex. The resistant sources will be applicable to all regions. This project will incorporate the resistance into varieties that are adapted to the Mid-South.

Information And Results
Project Deliverables

Breeding lines with resistance to Frogeye Leaf Spot, Cercospora Leaf Blight, and Stinkbug will be made available to public and private institutions
Publications will explain the use of the genetic material will improve soybean production in areas of high pathogenicity and pestilence.

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.
