Brief Project Summary:

Soybean cyst nematode (SCN) continues to be a major pest of soybeans in Wisconsin. In 2007 the Wisconsin Soybean Marketing Board funded a unique project whereby a summer intern worked with country agents to sample problem soybean fields. She sampled 154 fields in 19 counties and found SCN on soybean roots in 32 fields. Through the in-field scouting and sampling procedures, soybean growers were instructed on SCN symptoms, sampling procedures, visual diagnostics and potential soybean losses.

Specifically, the continuing project will:
1) Conduct SCN workshops at five locations in early August.
2) Sample 200 fields for SCN.
3) Send out over 500 SCN sampling kits to growers requesting...

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.
