Brief Project Summary:

Frogeye leaf spot resistance to QoI fungicides has been reported in four counties in Indiana. The research team will continue to document and confirm the distribution of soybean foliar diseases and fungicide resistance, and conduct field evaluation of integrated management options for soybean foliar disease in Indiana. The ultimate goal of this research is to understand foliar and stem disease distribution, and fungicide resistance and to identify new options to improve disease control, soybean yield, and seed quality. The results will provide information to farmers about when and where fungicide treatments will improve disease control and seed quality.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, Extension specialists, ag retailers, applicators

Information And Results
Project Deliverables

Research results will be used to develop Extension materials, including written factsheets and videos. These will be distributed to Indiana farmers through the weekly Pest&Crop newsletter, social media platforms, the Purdue Field Crop Pathology website, and made available to ISA for their website and distribution. Results will also be presented to Indiana farmers, agribusiness, and other soybean stakeholders at meetings and field days during the summer of 2019 and winter of 2020.

These meetings target a wide range of clientele from agribusiness personnel to individual farmers at county-level meetings. Summaries of results and seasonal updates will integrated into new and existing resources that provide the most current and updated management recommendations to farmers in Indiana.

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.
