Brief Project Summary:

Previous research at Iowa State indicates that within the field, soybean varieties with the Rag1 gene have lower densities of soybean aphids compared to a susceptible isolines. However, this resistance did not keep the aphid population below the economic injury level, despite having populations that were significantly reduced. Yield losses of 30-50% were reported compared to the aphid-free plots. The use of aphid resistant varieties will require changes in aphid control management recommendations. This project will address some of these concerns.

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.
