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.
Since its conception in 1997, The SCN Coalition has strived to increase farmer awareness of SCN — the No. 1 yield-grabbing pathogen of the soybean crop in North America — and increase the number of soybean farmers actively managing the pest to protect the sustainability of the soybean industry.
The most recent updates to the map of soybean cyst nematode distribution shows 31 counties across 10 states now have SCN.
As southern root-knot nematode emerges as a threat to southern soybean farmers, it’s crucial to have a strategic plan of defense. Identify which southern U.S. regions are at the highest risk and learn how to shield your crops from this active threat.
Discover ways farmers can win the war against the No. 1 yield-grabbing pest, soybean cyst nematode (SCN), and improve soybean sustainability and profitability.
The results are in; a recent qualitative study funded by the USB reveals that 18% more soybean growers are actively managing soybean cyst nematode (SCN), which will protect soybean yields and industry profitability.
