Soybean Nematode Management Guides
Manage Soybean Nematodes and Protect Yield
Nematode threats go beyond soybean cyst nematode (SCN). Other hidden nematodes can quietly cut yields. The Soybean Nematode Management Guides deliver practical, science-based tools to spot problems early, choose smart management strategies, and protect soybean yield.
Soybean Cyst Nematode Guide
The No. 1 yield-grabbing pathogen of the U.S. soybean crop, soybean cyst nematode (SCN) causes up to 30% yield loss without noticeable aboveground symptoms, costing farmers over $1.5 billion each year.
Root-Knot Nematode Guide
Root-knot nematode (RKN) can cause 25% yield loss in individual fields and is found in most soybean production regions in the U.S.
Root Lesion Nematode Guide
A collection of over 100 species, root lesion nematode (RLN) reduces yield in soybean and in rotational crops, including corn.
Reniform Nematode Guide
A significant pathogen in the southern U.S., reniform nematode can cause more than a 10% yield loss in individual soybean fields.
Soybean Nematode Management Guides are funded by the Soy Checkoff.
