Objective 1).
We anticipate that approximately six to eight different stem diseases will be identified and that prevalence of them will vary widely through the state. It is likely that distribution will be partially dependent on environment, the presence of SCN, and cropping history. However, this information will allow us to develop more representative educational efforts for ND growers.
Objective 2).
We anticipate obtaining a detailed understanding of the most soybean-intense production are in North Dakota. Further, we anticipate identifying Sudden Death Syndrome.
Objective 3).
We expect to print 1,200 card sets do be distributed at NDSC/NDSU events, including the NDSC Soybean Expo, Getting it Right, Best of the Best, etc.
