Brief Project Summary:

Soybean cyst nematode is the most damaging pathogen of soybeans. Management relies on rotation from soybean to non-host crops for multiple years and the selection of resistant cultivars. These methods are not perfect, and farmers need additional management tools. It is not known if continuous use of nematacide/biological seed treatments have an additive effect on suppressing SCN populations, if SNC seed treatment effects persist past a single season, or if the impacts of SCN seed treatments, including biologicals, continue into subsequent years. Assessing the long-term impacts of seed treatments on SCN populations and yield will allow growers to make informed, profitable SCN management decisions.

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.
