Brief Project Summary:

Since its discovery in 1956, in Lake County Tennessee, the Soybean Cyst Nematode (Heterodera glycines) has been the number one nematode problem in Tennessee. Some producers unknowingly lose 10-25 percent of their potential yield to the Soybean Cyst Nematode (SCN). There are now four major races of SCN in Tennessee. They are race 2, 3, 5 and 14. Race 2 was discovered to be widespread as a result of this program in 1997-98. In 1999-2007, additional samples were taken and Race 2 continues to show up in these samples. Over the past few years many soybean producers have wrongly assumed that the SCN causes very little damage to their crop. Because of this and other reasons producers are...

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.
