The most effective control method currently available relies on the use of soybean cultivars carrying resistance genes against specific pathotypes of <em>P. sojae<\/em> present in soybean fields.&nbsp; A diagnostic tool will be developed and offered to growers, allowing them to choose soybeans lines with the appropriate <em>P. sojae<\/em> resistance genes, and to breeders to deploy new soybean varieties resistant to the various pathotypes of <em>P. sojae<\/em> in Canadian fields.&nbsp; The implementation of this technology could save Canadian soybean growers over $20 million annually through the accurate exploitation of disease resistance.&nbsp; It is also expected to reduce the number of fungicide applications for the management of soybean diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Co-project leader &#8211; User:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Julien<\/td><td>Vivancos<\/td><td>Minist\u00e8re de l&#8217;Agriculture, des P\u00eacheries et de l&#8217;Alimentation du Qu\u00e9bec<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-25869","financed-project","type-financed-project","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/genomequebec.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/financed-project\/25869","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/genomequebec.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/financed-project"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/genomequebec.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/financed-project"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/genomequebec.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25869"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
