Great resource to see disease loss estimates on soybeans for the past 5 years!

“[Soybean cyst nematode] populations are slowly but steadily overcoming the resistance genes from the PI 88788 source of resistance and to a lesser extent Peking. Thus, it is critical that soybean growers rotate the sources of resistance in varieties they select.” From the

I hear all the cool kids are sampling for SCN this fall
When was the last time you tested for Soybean Cyst Nematode? Six years ago? Maybe ten? Never? We recommend testing your soil for #SCN every 3-4 years. Regular testing gives you the information you need to make management decisions that protect your yield. How and where to test

The ideal time to sample for SCN is in the late season (September–October), either just before or shortly after harvest, when egg levels in the soil are at their peak and give the most reliable estimate of population pressure. https://t.co/jOuZg2DHkA

Webster Lab crew has been out scouting North Dakota the past few weeks. Incredible amount of fields with white mold present this year. Not surprising with the moisture we saw this summer during most of flowering periods. But this will lead to lots of new inoculum for the future

Soybean Cyst Nematode is the #1 yield-robbing pest of soybeans in the U.S. What makes it so dangerous? It works below the soil, often with no visible symptoms. That means even “healthy-looking” fields could be losing profit. #StopSCN | Know. Test. Defend. Learn more:
