This continuing project addresses three major soybean yield-limiting diseases (Soybean Cyst Nematode, Brown Stem Rot and Sudden Death Syndrome) that occur in Wisconsin.
Understanding how these three diseases interact is critical to improving soybean disease management in Wisconsin. Little is known about how genes for SCN and BSR react to SDS, nor do we understand the spatial distribution of these three diseases in Wisconsin fields.
The difficulty with soil borne organisms, especially SCN, BSR and SDS is that once a field is infected, complete removal of the disease organism is difficult. While rotation has been shown to reduce SCN and BSR populations over time, there is no similar...
