News & Updates from The SCN Coalition
The SCN Coalition is a public/checkoff/private partnership formed to help the agricultural industry speak with one voice about soybean cyst nematode management. Check out our latest updates and download supporting image resources here.
New Management Guides Help Soybean Farmers Combat Rising Nematode Threats
Soybean cyst nematode (SCN) isn’t the only nematode species threatening soybean production today. To help soybean farmers stay ahead of emerging nematode threats, The SCN Coalition has expanded its educational outreach to create the Soybean Nematode Management Guides, providing practical tools and science-based strategies to identify and manage four yield-robbing, parasitic nematode species.
Over 900 SCN-Resistant Soybean Varieties Available for Iowa in 2026
The most effective way to actively manage soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is to rotate growing SCN-resistant soybean varieties with different resistance genetics. Because the seed industry doesn’t have a standard way to communicate which SCN resistance genes are in each variety, rotating varieties with different resistance genes isn’t as straightforward as it sounds.
SCN Coalition National Nematode Day Celebrates Sweepstakes Winners and Raises Awareness of Soybean Cyst Nematode Threat
These winners qualified for the drawing by participating in The SCN Coalition’s “Are You Smarter Than a Nematode?” quizzes. This fun, engaging and informative series sponsored by BASF, Indigo, and Syngenta challenged participants to test their nematode knowledge.
Prepare Now to Protect 2026 Soybean Yields
Every U.S. soybean production area has documented soybean cyst nematode (SCN) populations. Recommending a seed treatment plan that includes a nematicide will help ensure your growers aren’t losing money to these silent yield robbers.
The SCN Coalition Wins Big at NAMA With a Tool Decades in the Making
Accolades for an interactive tool more than 30 years in the making and its corresponding media campaign — that’s what the two first place “Best of NAMA” awards from the National Agri-Marketing Association (NAMA) represent for The SCN Coalition.
