Brief Project Summary:

Soybean cyst nematode continues to be a major pest of soybean in Wisconsin. Through the support of the Wisconsin Soybean Marketing Board, efforts have been funded to educate growers on the importance of SCN and management. By training and partnering with the industry and Extension, we plan to increase our direct contact with growers to increase SCN sampling and education.
