SCN is an important pest:
- Significant yield losses can occur in the absence of aboveground symptoms.
- Research results have revealed that there is an increased reproduction of SCN populations on PI 88788, the most common source of resistance used by breeders to develop SCN-resistant cultivars.
- SCN can survive for years in the soil within cysts that protect them from adverse environmental conditions and in the absence of a suitable host.
- See SCN distribution.
