The soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is the number one yield robbing pest in soybean production. SCN is an important limiting factor of soybean yield in Michigan. For a long time, plant resistance was very effective to control SCN; unfortunately SCN has started adapting and reproducing in resistant varieties because of the continuous use. Even though resistance to the SCN-resistant soybean varieties has been reported, growing SCN resistant varieties is still an effective and affordable way to manage SCN populations.
