Bayer CropScience Launches Soybean SDS Website
1 September 2015 Soybean Sudden Death Syndrome has gone from a virtually unknown disease in 1971 to one that caused 60 million bushels in lost yield last year. In an effort to help educate growers and other members of the agriculture community about the disease, Bayer CropScience launched www.soysds.com, a website the company bills as a comprehensive online industry resource.
“With www.soysds.com, we will provide the agricultural community with the premiere destination for all-things SDS,” said Kevin Adam, SeedGrowth Strategic Business Lead, Bayer CropScience. “Before growers can make management decisions, it is important that they understand the basic biology of the disease, what to look for to identify the disease in their fields and effective management options to prevent yield loss. With this site, Bayer CropScience will provide growers with easy access to the latest academic research papers conducted by university experts and tools to ensure they have the most current information on SDS and how to management it.”
At www.soysds.com, growers will have access to a host of educational resources that will provide a complete overview of the disease and its impact; helping them to develop a management strategy for reducing potential production risk. Comprised of third-party insights and proprietary research, including reports from researchers at Iowa State University, Purdue University, University of Wisconsin-Madison, among others, original articles and instructional images, www.soysds.com, serves as a one-stop repository for anyone seeking valuable information on SDS.
