Sudden death syndrome of soybean (SDS) and soybean cyst nematode (SCN) are two pest issues that have the potential to cause significant yield loss on an annual basis in Indiana. Despite drought conditions in 2012, SDS was observed in Indiana, and this disease continues to be a perennial problem. SCN also had a more pronounced impact in 2012, and growers need to be aware of both issues since research suggests that the population size and genetic profile of SCN within a field may influence expression of SDS. Damage due to SDS may be more severe in the presence of a particular genetic profile of SCN (formerly known as Race 1, now characterized as HG type 2.) that can cause symptoms on soybean...
