In Pennsylvania, the first documented finding of soybean cyst nematode was in 2002 in Lancaster and since then, there have been no reported cases of SCN until 2019, where it was found in three new counties. Given the lack of knowledge, this project commenced with the development of an educational and sampling program for SCN and other nematodes. This project’s objectives are to offer a free SCN testing program for Pennsylvania farmers and include those results anonymously in workshops, field days, and conferences and to raise awareness of the risk SCN poses to soybean production. Key Benefactors: farmers, agronomists, extension agents
1. Increased number of fields tested for SCN2. Increased awareness of SCN impact on soybean production and management
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.
