Sudden death syndrome (SDS) of soybeans, causal agent Fusarium solani f. sp. glycines, has been observed frequently in soybean fields in the North central states since the early 1990s. Symptoms of SDS had been observed in Wisconsin previously, and the causal agent was confirmed by laboratory analysis in 2006. Nine counties are now confirmed to have positive SDS reports (Figure 1).
