Seedling Pathogens in the Soybean Production Cycle: Management and Communication

Seedling diseases rank in the top five threats to soybean because their insidious nature makes them difficult to diagnose and control, causing over 35M bu/a loss annually. This project will determine the impact of environmental conditions and stress factors on the epidemiology of seedling pathogens. Soybean producers will see benefits in the form of better management recommendations, provided in a variety of formats, including webinars, new extension publications, research reviews and information available through the Crop Protection Network.
