Evaluating fungicide efficacy, desiccant applications, and delayed harvest for soybean grain quality, 14-2023

Current management strategies for this disease include crop rotation with non-hosts, tillage, fungicide applications during pod-fill and resistant cultivars, although these are limited to non-existent.  Additional research is needed to determine what other, if any, fungi are contributing to this reduction in seed quality whether it be a single pathogen or relationship between one or more present and methods for management. Further funding will allow continuation of this research towards additional management options for issues surrounding damaged grain.
