The objectives of this project are to continue to survey field isolates that are responsible for causing soybean sudden death syndrome and root rot in Alabama, and evaluate previously collected field isolates of the Fusarium solani species complex, namely F. falciforme, F. paranaense, and F. solani sensu stricto, and their ability to cause disease on cultivars of soybean. Additionally, fungicide efficacy will be evaluated for members of the isolates in Alabama to determine possible disease management recommendations.
