Although there are many SCN-resistant varieties available for soybean farmers, almost all contain resistance genes from a single soybean breeding line, says Iowa State University Extension's Greg Tylka.
If your yield monitor is indicating low-yielding areas for soybeans, soybean cyst nematodes could be the problem and South Dakota State University Extension discusses how to get to the root of the problem by testing your soil this fall.
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.
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.

There were multiple reports of Sudden Death Syndrome (SDS) in soybeans this past year. The cooler, wet season helped promote the disease in susceptible varieties, but the presence of soybean cyst nematode (SCN) can also increase the effect of SDS.
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.
