Sudden Death Syndrome is a destructive disease of soybean in Wisconsin and the soybean growing region of the US. Knowing the distribution of the causal pathogen of this disease, Fusarium virguliforme, can help us predict disease outbreaks and focus our Extension efforts. This proposal's objectives are to test all soil samples submitted for testing through the WSMB funded SCN testing and education program.
1. Knowledge of the amounts of Fusarium viguliforme in the soils of Wisconsin. 2. Targeted information to growers about SDS based on the spatial distribution and prevalence of F. viguliforme in Wisconsin.
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.
