Brief Project Summary:
This research studies many aspects of the biology of soybean cyst nematode, the most important pathogen in soybean, and continues to evaluate best integrated management strategies that will help soybean growers in Ohio minimize yield losses. The project is designed to help understand the relationship between SCN, soil texture, soil health parameters and soybean production, SCN interaction with other plant species and the effect of nematode-protectant seed treatments and soybean performance with resistance from PI88788 and Peking in SCN infested fields.

Information And Results
Project Summary

Soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is a major soybean pathogen causing annual yield losses estimated in excess of $1.2 billion. The presence of SCN in a field, but most importantly, the SCN numbers, will determine the best management strategy. We propose this research because we are studying many aspects of the biology of the most important pathogen in soybean and continuing to evaluate best integrated management strategies that will help soybean growers in Ohio minimize yield losses due to SCN. The project is designed to help us understand the relationship between SCN, soil texture, soil health parameters and soybean production (objective 1); the SCN interaction with other plant species (objective 2) and the effect of nematode-protectant seed treatments and soybean performance with resistance from PI88788 and Peking in SCN infested fields. The results of this project will provide immediate and long-term benefits to soybean producers and researchers.

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.
