Brief Project Summary:

Soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is a major yield-limiting factor of soybean. This nematode disease has spread to at least 12 soybean-producing counties in North Dakota. Cultivar resistance is the primary nematode management tactic. SCN is known to be genetically diverse nematode populations and can develop new virulent forms over time due to continuous use of the same sources of resistance. Monitoring virulence changing of SCN populations across the state is important to navigate the use of resistance sources for growers and the new resistance sources that should be introduced to ND. Knowledge of virulence types within the state should greatly influence the choice of populations and HG...

Soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is a major yield-limiting factor of soybean. This disease has spread to at least 12 soybean-producing counties in North Dakota. Cultivar resistance is the primary nematode management tactic. SCN is known to be genetically diverse populations and can develop new virulent forms over time due to continuous use of the same sources of resistance. Monitoring virulence changing of SCN populations across the state is important to navigate the use of resistance sources for growers and the new resistance sources that should be introduced to ND. This proposal will determine virulent types of SCN in 50 fields across the state that haven’t been sampled and tested before. The information of HG types will be provided and added to the existing map of SCN distribution and density in ND and available to growers.

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.
