Growing SCN-resistant varieties with varying sources of resistance and nematode-protectant seed treatments in rotation with corn is the best approach for prolonging profitable soybean production in SCN-infested fields.
No-tillers may already have this parasitic soybean pest, but rotating crops, using resistant varieties and adding seed treatments can help them win the battle.
There are two kinds of soybean farmers in the Midwest, Greg Tylka says: Those who are concerned about soybean cyst nematodes (SCN), and those who should be.
The easiest way to monitor the effectiveness of your SCN-resistant soybeans is to test for SCN about every 6 years, says University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension.
When you think of tightening your belt in crop production, it often means cutting your production costs while maintaining yield to increase profitability. The opposite can be just as effective: Maintaining your production costs while increasing yield will increase profitability.
Although soil sampling for soybean cyst nematodes (SCN) might not be on most people’s list of favorite autumn chores, fall is a great time to sample fields for this pest.
Syngenta introduces Clariva Complete Beans nematicide/insecticide/fungicide, an on-seed application of separately registered products that adds to the broad-spectrum seed treatment of CruiserMaxx Beans with Vibrance insecticide/fungicide.
Matt Hudson and Brian Diers, crop sciences researchers at the University of Illinois and Andrew Bent at the University of Wisconsin, think they may have found a way to strengthen plant resistance to soybean cyst nematodes.
