Funded Project
Funding Program: LegumePIPE Subcontracts
Project Title: Monitoring Diseases and Insects for Legume PIPE in Western Oregon
Project Directors (PDs):
James R. Myers [1]
Melodie Putnam [2]
James D. Young [3]
Lead State: OR

Lead Organization: Oregon State University
Undesignated Funding: $11,055
Start Date: Jul-01-2009

End Date: Jun-30-2010
Pests Involved: Soybean rust, Legume viruses
Site/Commodity: Linn & Benton County, OR/Common bean, Pea, Soybean
Summary: Five fields (two of green beans, two of garden peas and one of soybean) will be grown on the OSU Vegetable Research Farm (peas and beans) and Crop and Soil Science Hyslop Research Farm (soybeans). Minimum field size will be 25 x 150 feet. Crops will be grown using standard production practices for the region. The project has two objectives: to monitor the large seeded legume crops for soybean rust and other diseases (with a focus on viral diseases), and to sample insect populations in plots at flowering/early podding stages. Fields will be observed weekly to evaluate plants for potential diseases. Our expectation is to find viral diseases in peas and beans, but we do not expect to find fungal and bacterial pathogens apart from white mold. At flowering/early podding, a survey will be conducted for soybean rust. At the same time, symptomatic and nonsymtomatic leaf samples and insects will be collected. Personnel at the OSU Plant Disease Clinic will perform diagnostics of diseases and insects. Results will be reported weekly during the growing season to the Legume PIPE website and in weekly conference calls.

Objectives: 1. Monitor large seeded legume fields for soybean rust and other diseases in Western Oregon.

2. Sample insect populations in large seeded legume fields in Western Oregon.
