Brief Project Summary:

The soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is the most damaging soybean pest in Michigan and the incidence and severity of sudden death syndrome (SDS) has increased dramatically in Michigan since its first identification in the state in 2008. 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...

Information And Results
Final Project Results

This project aimed to evaluate new soybean varieties for resistance to soybean sudden death syndrome (SDS), determine the effects of seed treatment on SDS and soybean cyst nematode (SCN), and examine the interaction between SDS and SCN. Over 300 new varieties were evaluated for SDS resistance in 2018. The effects of various seed treatments on SDS and SCN were determined, and the SDS/SCN interaction was examined. The results from this project will help Michigan soybean growers in management of SDS and SCN.

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.
