Simply planting SCN varieties said to be resistant is no longer an effective solution to the problem, and areas with high levels of both SDS and SCN need to managed simultaneously, says Purdue University Extension.

Planting soybean cyst nematode (SCN) varieties is one of the most effective tactics for managing the most important pathogen of soybeans. However, SCN-resistant varieties are not all created equal. You should consider the following characteristics when selecting SCN resistant varieties for your fields:
Soybean producers should utilize several sources of information when selecting soybean cyst nematode (SCN)-resistant varieties. The article What To Consider When Selecting SCN-Resistant Varieties shares the four characteristics producers should keep in mind when choosing varieties with SCN resistance.
Soybean cyst nematodes have the potential to cause devastating yield losses, population densities can increase very rapidly within a single growing season, and dormant eggs can survive for more than a decade in infested soils in the absence of soybeans.
Effective scouting during the growing season is the key to successful, integrated management of SCN, says Iowa State University plant pathologist Greg Tylka.
