Brief Project Summary:

To determine the effect of new cultivars developed by Syngenta on SCN reproduction, researchers will conduct growth chamber experiments with SCN populations that can reproduce at some level in both Peking and PI88788. For the test, commercially available SCN-resistant soybean varieties and susceptible soybeans will be used for the comparison. The experiment will be done in a growth chamber in containers with a randomized complete block design and four replications. After 28-30 days of inoculation, SCN females will be extracted from the root and counted. Data will be assessed for the reduction in reproduction compared to the susceptible soybeans.

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.
