Brief Project Summary:

The soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is the most damaging soybean pest in Michigan and the in-cidence and severity of sudden death syndrome (SDS) has increased dramatically in Michigan. Past research has shown that yield reductions from SCN and SDS can be significantly reduced through the use of resistant or tolerant varieties. However, research is needed to identify and isolate new genetic sources of SDS resistance to improve the performance and availability of SDS tolerant varieties adapted to Michigan. New seed treatments have been developed and are being marketed to improve the performance of SCN resistant varieties. Research is needed to evaluate the performance and economic returns of these...

Information And Results
Final Project Results

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.
