Sudden death syndrome (SDS) was severe in many fields across the Midwest U.S. and Canada in 2014, resulting in yield loss and frustration for farmers. Although selection of resistant cultivars is the best management option for SDS, other management options may complement resistance. This talk will highlight research completed over the past several years focusing on these complementary options such as seed treatments, planting date, glyphosate application, tillage and crop rotation. This research is partially funded by the soybean check off through the North Central Soybean Research Program and the Grain Farmers of Ontario-Ontario Farm Innovation Program, a component of Growing Forward 2 (GF2), a federal-provincial-territorial initiative. The Agricultural Adaptation Council assists in the delivery of GF2 in Ontario.
