Brief Project Summary:

Sudden Death Syndrome (SDS) is a soil-borne disease that infects soybean roots and produces a toxin(s) that affects the foliage. Quantifying yield losses can be difficult and varies from year to year. Although SDS disease severity may be increased in plants co-infected with SCN, it can and does develop in absence of SCN. Management of SDS could be enhanced if we had a better understanding of such factors as: the type and aggressiveness of the infecting agent, a better understanding of its distribution by county, its association with SCN in Michigan, and a better educational program to relate findings to producers. This project provides a pro-active approach to addressing SDS in Michigan.

Final Project Results

The United Soybean Research Retention policy will display final reports with the project once completed but working files will be purged after three years. And financial information after seven years. All pertinent information is in the final report or if you want more information, please contact the project lead at your state soybean organization or principal investigator listed on the project.
