Management of Important Soybean Diseases in Kentucky

Dr. Bradley’s research program will conduct field research trials across the state of Kentucky to investigate management of soybean cyst nematode, frogeye leaf spot, and target spot. These trials will include field trials investigating the effect of nematicide seed treatments and foliar fungicides on disease management, and soybean yield. Field trials will be located at nine locations across the state, which includes three UK research stations (Princeton, Lexington, and Jackson) and several sites coordinated by the UK Soybean Variety Testing Program. Results will be reported back to the Kentucky Soybean Board as well as to stakeholders within the state.
