Database Research Summaries2018 Characterization of soybean taproot decline; a new disease in Mississippi soybean production fields
Research Focus
The focus of this project is to address the etiology of taproot decline (TRD) associated with soybean plants throughout Miss. production fields.
Objectives
- Confirmation of the taproot decline pathogen.
- Characterize the life cycle of and disease cycle of the taproot decline pathogen.
Results
Results will be updated upon completion of this research project.
Importance
This is important so that the life cycle and disease cycle of the taproot can be adequately tracked for better soybean yield.
