Soybean cyst nematode, SCN, was found in Lake County TN in 1956 and is a pest which if not managed leads to greater risk of yield reduction in soybean. Yield loss is hard to predict and the main management tool, plant resistance, favors adaptation of the nematode to sources of resistance and increased risk of yield loss. Additional tools are needed to manage this pest. This proposal addresses the manipulation of a biological control agent, Pasteuria nishizawae, to increase management of SCN.
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.
