Brief Project Summary:

Soybean cyst nematode (SCN), a key pest of soybean, is managed through the planting of resistant varieties. Even though three sources of resistance may be available, one source, PI88788, predominates. Since it has been shown, continual use of one source can result in virulent SCN populations causing less effective SCN control resulting in lower soybean yields the result of using one source needs to be analyzed. It has also been shown that the most common plant parasitic nematode in Michigan, the Root Lesion Nematode, can breakdown SCN resistance.

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.
