With flooding in the eastern South Dakota, it is possible that soybean cyst nematode-infested soil may have moved to different locations, therefore continued soil testing for SCN is needed. It can reveal SCN presence in new locales and note population changes. Increasing SCN populations will necessitate management strategy changes, such as switching between sources of SCN resistance or using nematicide seed treatments. Producers and crop consultants can continue to submit soil samples for free SCN testing. This incentive will encourage sample submission, and each sample’s results will be communicated to the submitter with recommendations for management, depending on the level of SCN found. Key Benefactors: farmers, agronomists, extension specialists
Growers test their soils for SCN and receive information on management strategies specific to their fields.
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.
