Since its discovery in 1956, in Lake County Tennessee, the Soybean Cyst Nematode (Heterodera glycines) has been the number one nematode problem in Tennessee. Some producers unknowingly lose 10-25 percent of their potential yield to the Soybean Cyst Nematode (SCN). There are now four major races of SCN in Tennessee. They are race 2, 3, 5 and 14. Knowledge of the SCN situation is the basis for profitable variety selection. Success through this program has proven increases of 5-15 bushels per acre for producers in SCN infested fields. In addition, cultural practices and strategies can be used to reduce or slow down the advancement of new races of SCN that would infect resistant varieties,...
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.
