Active SCN Management
SCN management starts with a soil test
Why is it important to “know my number?” Iowa State University Nematologist Greg Tylka and University of Missouri Plant Pathologist Kaitlyn Bissonnette explain why it’s important to have a baseline.
You can successfully manage SCN
SCN reduces soybean yields year in and year out. Iowa State University Nematologist Greg Tylka discusses how it’s possible to successfully manage SCN – the No. 1 yield-grabbing pest of soybeans in North America.
PI 88788 isn’t as powerful as it once was
Is SCN adapting to PI 88788? Iowa State University Nematologist Greg Tylka explains why the source of SCN resistance used in most soybean varieties, known as PI 88788, isn’t as powerful as it used to be.
SCN-resistant variety selection is crucial
What should a soybean grower consider when selecting soybean varieties? Iowa State University Nematologist Greg Tylka and University of Missouri Plant Pathologist Kaitlyn Bissonnette explain why the SCN-resistant soybean variety you select can greatly impact your bottom line.
SCN is North America’s most damaging soybean pathogen
Did you know SCN causes more than a billion dollars’ worth of yield loss each year? Iowa State University Nematologist Greg Tylka explains why SCN is the most damaging pathogen of the soybean crop in North America.
SCN continues to spread
Did you know SCN has been found in new counties in many different states in the U.S. and Canada in recent years? Iowa State University Nematologist Greg Tylka explains how nematodes are spreading across North America and impacting soybean yields.
Research advancements provide hope for the future
Are new tools being developed to combat SCN? North Dakota State University Plant Pathologist Sam Markell and Iowa State University Nematologist Greg Tylka discusses how soybean checkoff funded research will provide new management options.
How does weather impact SCN?
Hot and dry conditions impact SCN reproduction. North Dakota State University Plant Pathologist Sam Markell and Iowa State University Nematologist Greg Tylka explain how the weather during the growing season can have a tremendous impact on SCN.
Scouting for SCN during the growing season
Is it possible to scout for SCN during the growing season? North Dakota State University Plant Pathologist Sam Markell demonstrates how to look for SCN females on soybean roots during the growing season to check if your SCN management plan is effective.
Seed Treatments as a management tool
Why should I consider a seed treatment? University of Missouri Plant Pathologist Kaitlyn Bissonnette explains why seed treatments can protect soybean roots from SCN early in the growing season.
This project was made possible with support from these Coalition partners.
