This research project will develop a rapid, accurate, and cost-effective PCR-based detection and quantification method for soybean cyst, reniform, and root-knot nematodes, the three major nematode pests of soybean. This will speed reporting of nematode infestations so that more timely management decisions can be made, and increase the sensitivity of nematode detection, especially for samples with low numbers of nematodes that are difficult to detect visually.
