Brief Project Summary:

Before best management practices can be implemented for nematodes impacting soybean and other crops, nematode populations must be characterized. In addition, the efficacy of specific management recommendations, including host resistance and nematicides, needs to be determined for the specific nematode populations present in the region. This project plans to characterize plant parasitic nematode populations in the soybean-growing region of Virginia and assess the value of nematicide seed treatments on nematode resistant and susceptible soybean varieties and develop integrated management recommendations.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, extension agents

Information And Results
Project Deliverables

1) Updated information on distributions of nematodes that are economically important on soybean and other crops that can be used by growers to make management decisions
2) HG typing for SCN populations in Virginia which will be used by growers to select varieties for SCN management
3) Recommendations for integrated management of nematodes in soybean based on efficacy of seed treatments and resistant variety performance

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.
