Soybean cyst nematode is adapting to the most commonly deployed resistance derived from PI 88788. This project supports soil sampling that arises from an education campaign from the SCN Coalition to raise awareness of this issue. The project aims to monitor soybean cyst nematode populations in Ohio for the number of eggs/sample, to determine which source of resistance for SCN, Peking or PI 88788, will be most effective across Ohio, and to evaluate additional management practices that limit the impact of soybean cyst nematode in Ohio.
