The disease has become a concern to soybean growers and commercial seed companies throughout much of the midwest. Field patterns of SDS vary from strips, distinct patches, to large extensive patches that coalesce. In 1998, a state-wide survey in Illinois showed that SDS occurre throughout most of the state. It is not known if changes in weather conditions, tillage patterns, varieties, or a combination of these and/or other factors have contributed to the increase in SDS. The best recommendation at this time is to plant less susceptible varieties. |
