Brief Project Summary:

The soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is considered the number one pest of soybeans nationally and globally, causing an estimated 109 million bushels of yield loss in the U.S. in 2017. In NY State, testing efforts for the soybean cyst nematode (SCN) have been minimal outside of university and extension research survey efforts. However, based on 2019 SCN testing results from a cooperative agricultural pest survey, funded by NYS Department of Agriculture and Markets and led by NYS Integrated Pest Management program, SCN has now been confirmed at low levels in seven counties across the state. This has caught the attention of many NY soybean farmers.
Due to this confirmation of widespread infestation...

Information And Results
Project Deliverables

Project investigators and collaborators will identify soybean growers willing to participate, and 5-10 soybean fields each to monitor and sample for SCN testing.

Project investigators and collaborators will collect soil samples from 5-10 soybean fields each at the end of the growing season and submit to SCN Diagnostics Laboratory testing facility.

Results from the testing facility will be shared with growers and summarized for sharing via websites, extension meetings, reports, and articles.
