Soybean Aphid Control by Natural Enemies in Manitoba

Soybean aphids cause major yield losses in soybean in North America. In Manitoba there were widespread soybean aphid population outbreaks during 2006 and 2008, and less severe populations in 2010 and 2011. Natural enemies have been demonstrated to control soybean … Continue reading →

Identifying Sources of Partial Resistance and Tolerance to Phytophthora and Pythium Root Rots

Phytophthora and Pythium root rots are destructive diseases of soybean in short-season regions. Breeding for resistance is the most practical, economical, and environmentally safe measure against these diseases. We screened 87 new and old short-season soybean varieties for resistance to three common … Continue reading →
