Brief Project Summary:

Soybean seedling diseases caused by Fusarium, Rhizoctonia and Pythium cause damping off and may be involved in stand establishment when environmental conditions are not ideal for germination and emergence. This project will evaluate soybean stand establishment and yield responses from fungicide seed treatments at various planting dates. This project will include soybean cyst nematode research. SCN management trials will be conducted in an infested field. The performance of the seed treatment nematicides will be evaluated on resistant and susceptible soybean varieties. Stand counts and early-season plant growth will be assessed, and SCN counts will be made at the end of the season to assess treatment effects on nematode levels.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, ag retailers, extension specialists

Information And Results
Project Deliverables

Stand counts and early-season plant growth will be assessed. Yields will be taken with a plot combine and adjusted to 13% moisture. SCN counts will be made at the end of the season to assess treatment effects on nematode levels. Reports of results will be made available to soybean producers at production meetings and on the internet.

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.
