Information And Results
Final Project Results

We used both traditional and molecular methods of identifying the fungi in those plants and determined that the disease was not sudden death syndrome. We believe the symptoms were caused by
F. solani, a common Fusarium infecting soybean roots in this area, in combination with some unknown soil or stress factor. As of yet, sudden death syndrome has not been verified in North Dakota.

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.
