This research studies many aspects of the biology of soybean cyst nematode, the most important pathogen in soybean, and continues to evaluate best integrated management strategies that will help soybean growers in Ohio minimize yield losses. The project is designed to help understand the relationship between SCN, soil texture, soil health parameters and soybean production, SCN interaction with other plant species and the effect of nematode-protectant seed treatments and soybean performance with resistance from PI88788 and Peking in SCN infested fields.
