The 19th annual meeting of NCR-137 was held at the Sheraton Westport Inn, St. Louis, MO on February 15 and 16, 2004. The meeting was held in conjunction with the Southern Soybean Disease Workers and NC-200. A joint general session was held on February 15th for a symposium on Soybean Rust. Presentations were made by Glen Hartman, USDA-Univ. of Illinois, Reid Frederick, USDA-CSREES, Anwar Rizvi, USDA-APHIS, Neil Caskey-American Soybean Assoc, Paul Schaffer, Pioneer Seeds and moderated by David Wright, Iowa Soybean Promotion Board. The program continued into the evening with research presentations by members of the Southern Soybean Disease Workers. On the morning of February 16th, topic overviews of the major soybean pathogens limiting yields in the US were presented. Travel conditions were excellent this year and the meeting was very well attended.
Following the presentations on the evening of the 16th, NCR-137 Chair Jim Kurle called the annual meeting to order at 8:39 PM. Participants and Guests were introduced.
Steve Slack, the administrative advisor provided both instructions and an update on the renewal application for NCR-137. Minutes from this meeting are due in 30 days, preferably in a word document, the Annual Report is due in 60 days. NCR-137 is in the renewal process with the temporary number, 1096. The Dept. chairs will examine renewal and the next step will be the multi-state regional committee, which meets the first part of March. This process should be completed by the end of March and at this time Slack reported that he does not anticipate a problem.
For NC-504 ?there is a question on the future of Soybean Rust. This NC committee was established for a quick response situation for two years. This project terminates at the end of September. NC-504 will be meeting April 14th and April 15th. It is possible that NC-504 will fold into NCR137. However, if they continue, a write-up prior to March is needed.
XB Yang reported that based on the importance of soybean rust, NC-504 would like to continue and a discussion and vote will occur at the business meeting to be held later this year. There are currently 22 people signed up to attend the NC-504 meeting to be held in April at Ft. Detrick, Maryland.
Kitty Cardwell gave an update on the budget situation and formula funds will be available through the next year. Committees in progress will still be funded. In the rewrite we are very limited to the number of characters that are allowed in the annual reports. This is now in table format for each of the cooperative reports. It is also important to list 5 impacts of our activities, there is a demand for project evaluation, and indicators of success will become important. Lists of websites, number of papers, bibliographies, and outcomes of cooperative projects are all important. For new projects, add indicators for how successful the projects are initially.
Jim Kurle reminded everyone that for state reports, impact statements are needed.
Doug Jardine then moved that the 2003 minutes distributed via email by J. Kurle be accepted. R. Nelson seconded and the motion passed unanimously. The next item of business was next year?s meeting. J. Steadman moved for NCR-137 meeting to be held in St. Louis prior to the Soybean Breeders Workshop. This was seconded by D. Jardine. There was some discussion on continuing to meet with the Southern Soybean Disease Workers. The motion passed unanimously. The next meeting of NCR-137 will be held from Sunday noon to Monday until 3 to 4 pm. The group agreed that they would like to see a significant amount of time for state reports.
The next item of business was the election of the Secretary-Treasurer. S. Abney nominated Doug Jardine. X.B. Yang seconded. J. Steadman quickly moved that the nominations be closed. Pederson seconded this motion, Kurle called the vote for all those in favor. There was a unanimous ballot.
C. Grau, noted that NCR-137 is twenty years old this year. Both NCR-137 and NCR-138 on alfalfa diseases began at the same time. He also noted that the first chair of NCR-137 may have been F. Schwenk.
In other business, the committee expressed great appreciation to Southern Soybean Disease Workers members Boyd Padget and Jason Bond, for their work on organizing the meeting. Boyd responded that this meeting is always successful and he proposed that NCR-137 meet with SSDW every third year in the South. The two groups could potentially meet with SSDW during 2006 when the group meets in Puerto Rico. S. Cianzio volunteered to help organize that meeting. Puerto Rico is the site for many winter soybean breeding nurseries. For an off-site visit, we will need permission. Boyd stated that for contact information next year, Ray Schneider is chair of SSDW during 2005.
The Soybean Loss Report was then discussed. L. Sweets presented what data was available, but for more details, contact Allen Wrather for the completed loss report. There were several other concurrent meetings during our business meeting this year.
XB Yang presented an abbreviated report on the soybean disease situation in Iowa. Charcoal rot was the number one disease of soybeans during 2003, while soybean aphid was 28% less than the previous year. A drought occurred in July after the corn had finished flowering ? but soybeans needed water.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:30 pm.
Detailed state reports were presented by South Dakota, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Ontario, Wisconsin, Nebraska, North Dakota, Kansas, and Minnesota on Monday afternoon.

Accomplishments
Soybean dwarf virus was detected in soybean in Midwest in 2003.
Coordinated effort between Les Domier, USDA, Urbana, IL and Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection. In addition, Charcoal Rot caused by Macrophomina phaseolina, sudden death syndrome caused by Fusarium solani f.sp. glycines in Minnesota and Pythium catenulatum in Ohio were identified causing disease on soybeans for the first time.
NCR137 members continue to focus on resistance to soybean pathogens. A new resistance gene and partial resistance to P sojae were mapped. In addition, characterization of the brown stem rot pathogen Phialophora gregata and distribution and preference of P. gregata types were documented.
NCR137 members are actively participating in action plans for soybean
Rust throughout the region.
NCR137 members continue to develop new tools for detection of plant pathogens and improve screening methods for evaluating resistance to plant pathogens. Recent achievements by the USDA-University of Illinois group include a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based method detect Fusarium solani f. sp. glycines, the cause of soybean sudden death syndrome and modified the cut stem method for evaluation of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum.
NCR137 members actively involved in collaborative research projects
funded by the North Central Soybean Research Program. Three of the 24 publications were from these collaborative projects.
Impacts
- Continue focus on resistance to soybean pathogens
- Continue to develop new tools for detection of plan pathogens and improve screening methods for evaluating resistance to plant pathogens
- Actively participate in action plans for soybean rust throughout the region
