Soybean disease resistance breeding: Corteva AgriscienceRecent Research Landscape

Soybean germplasm requires simultaneous optimization of yield potential, disease resistance, and seed oil composition to maintain competitive commercial performance.

What technical problems is Corteva Agriscience addressing in Soybean disease resistance breeding?

Fungal blight susceptibility

(50)evidences

Soybean crops suffer significant yield losses when concurrent infections from aerial web blight, anthracnose, and powdery mildew overwhelm standard plant defenses.

Oleic acid profile instability

(53)evidences

Soybean crops suffer yield loss and poor oil quality due to vulnerability against aerial web blight, anthracnose, and powdery mildew.

Multi-pest resistance gaps

(47)evidences

Soybean crops suffer significant yield loss and plant degradation when exposed to pathogens like aerial web blight, anthracnose, and powdery mildew.
