J.R. Steadman's Research
Dr. Steadman's research area is the epidemiology and control of diseases, especially of common beans and soybeans. Two fungal diseases, white mold of beans and soybeans and common rust, offer challenges in the search for genetic resistance. Pathogenic variation studies and selection of resistance to rust and white mold are a major part of an international project. Selection and management of disease resistance and integrated disease management in temperate, semi-arid and tropical locations is the overall program emphasis.
