Soil texture and tillage have been shown to affect soybean nematode (SCN) populations. The goal of this research is to expand the study of other production options that may alter SCN populations. Since there is a movement in Nebraska to plant a second year of corn in a corn-soybean crop rotation and availability of irrigated fields; the researcher will investigate these factors on SCN population dynamics in Nebraska.
