The objectives of this project are to investigate the genetic relationships within populations of Fusarium virguliforme found in Iowa and to study the correlation between these genetic backgrounds and variability in aggressiveness on soybean.
Field microplot experiments were established at three locations in a harvested soybean field that had a high level of SDS pressure in 2007. These fields had SDS in previous growing seasons and were planted with corn in this season. Cropping history and yield data were collected from farmers' fields to better understand survival of SDS fungus in soil and or on residues. Three soil samplings were obtained from the microplots plots to determine...
