Brief Project Summary:

This project will use a set of top candidate biocontrol fungi and toxin producing fungi identified in work currently funded through the MSRPC in 2017 to work on translating these findings into a viable biocontrol or bionematicide product by 1) performing bioactivity guided fractionation to chemically identify antagonistic compounds in high-toxicity strains, and 2) testing different formulations, application methods, and biocontrol efficacy of biocontrol candidates in greenhouse trials in preparation for field trials. Greenhouse trials will identify candidates that can robustly survive and control SCN numbers and damage under of variety of environmental and soil-type conditions. They will...

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.
