There has never been a statistically valid survey of Michigan soybean acreage for SCN. Since it was first discovered in Michigan in the 1980's, we know it is widely spread throughout our state (40 counties) and has been managed by crop rotations and host plant resistance. The success of such management depends on the selection of a resistant variety with its resistance source effective on the fields SCN type. This project is important for the development of future high quality SCN management and educational programming.
The United Soybean Research Retention policy will display final reports with the project once completed but working files will be purged after three years. And financial information after seven years. All pertinent information is in the final report or if you want more information, please contact the project lead at your state soybean organization or principal investigator listed on the project.
