Brief Project Summary:

Root lesion nematodes (RLN) are the most common plant parasitic nematode in Wisconsin. More than 95% of the fields sampled in multiple surveys were positive for at least one species of RLN. Soybean, corn, forage crops, small grains, vegetable crops and many weeds are good host to RLN. The wide host range and the abilities to thrive in Wisconsin soils, make RLN a potential threat to soybean production.

Most current education activities and diagnostic efforts are aimed at only one nematode: SCN. It is important to know if activities should include RLN in nematode surveys, management recommendations and educational activities.

Final Project Results

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.
