Pest and disease infested soybean field have chance for more charcoalrot disease severity?

Which soybean seedborne Fusarium species can we expect to find in a soybean seed lot? Do we actually know that? Are seedborne Fusarium species plant pathogens?

What your opinion fora about partial and complete resistance to plant pathogens?

What your opinion for about tolerance?

Describe to us your concepts and uses?

Hello,

I am conducting agronomic experiment, growing Soybean on a trial plot of 100 ft x 50 ft. It's a lateritic soil with slightly acidic pH around 6.5 

Plants are 65 days however sufficient number of pods not visible for good yield. Will use foliar spray (macro + micro) as corrective. 

At same time, it ll be useful to apply something to soil for pH correction. Ideally a liquid will help. 

Requesting expert members to suggest what could be the liquid pH improver.?

Pls suggest 

Thanking you 

Hello,

I need to infect my plants with powdery mildew to check if they become more susceptible to the infection. Currently in my lab, we just drop spores and try to do it as evenly as possible. But I think it should be a more accurate method to infect plants. Do you know any protocols? Also, how do you check the results of the infection? 

Cleistogamous flowers produce better pod set in artificial pollination.

I am conducting pot trials with Soybean. After 10 - 12 days the cotyledons and first set of unifoliate leaves are eaten by some organism.

For Mouse, I have kept all post in 1/2inch x 1/2 inch iron mesh cage of 5 feet x 10 feet.

For leaf eating green worm, I checked twice thrice for any evidence, but that's not the case.

During previous set (last month) I applied Thymate from all sides but it did not help, similar happened and I had to repeat.

This time suspecting some work eating leaves I also sprayed Chloropyriphos but haven't got any success.

Kindly help. I am attaching photographs

I want to determine the gene expression with respect to biosynthesis in soybean. As we know, there are many genes with unknown functions in soybean, and many are only with predicted functions on the basis of gene predicting method and automated computational analysis.

My question is: Can I directly use the predicted genes the same as the known genes?

For instance, I cultivate the soybean under nitrogen deficiency and hypothesized that the nitrogen starvation stress would alter the expression of genes responsible for some molecule biosynthesis. But what we know about these genes are only the predicted function. Then I design the primers and get the expression results, and the results coincides with my hypothesis. So can I demonstrate my hypothesis? Is this result acceptable and valuable?

Thanks for your attention.

Has anyone heard of a link between sulfonylurea herbicide residues and hypoglycemia after eating the treated produce? Would this cause a hypoglycemia detectable on a home glucometer? Besides soybeans, what crops are commonly treated with sulfonylurea?
