Brief Project Summary:

Two years of survey work totaling over 150 soil samples from Tennessee soybean production fields indicated that soybean cyst nematode (37%) is the most prevalent economically important plant-parasitic nematode followed by root-knot nematode (3%). The fields included in this survey were fields in soybean production; however, as economics change and fields with a history of cotton or corn are rotated into soybean the frequency of fields with root-knot are expected to increase as both corn and especially cotton are good hosts for root-knot. The most economically important root-knot nematode on soybean in Tennessee is thought to be M. incognita although M. arenaria, M. enterolobii, M. javanica...

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.
