The ARS at Urbana, IL is comprised of three Management Units: Soybean/Maize Germplasm, Pathology, and Genetics; Invasive Weed Management; and Photosynthesis. The mission of the location is to identify rate limiting steps in nitrogen metabolism, maintain and evaluate soybean germplasm and corn genetic stocks, develop improved pest management systems that are efficient and environmentally safe, and to identify and modify rate-limiting factors of the photosynthetic process, including crop productivity and response to suboptimal environmental conditions.
