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.
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.
Throughout October BASF Agricultural Solutions and The SCN Coalition are highlighting SCN Action Month. Their partnership will showcase the latest soybean cyst nematode research and resources.
Researchers have identified a handful of likely genes behind soybean cyst nematode’s ability to skirt soybean genetic resistance. Get information on The SCN Coalition’s next steps to apply these findings to help farmers.
The National Nematode Day Campaign won first place in the Unique Sponsorship Campaign category at 2024 the Best of NAMA awards.
