Farmers may be planning to grow soybeans in 2022 in fields cropped to soybeans in 2021 because of high prices and limited availability of inputs for corn production. But doing this in 2022 in fields infested with the soybean cyst nematode (SCN) will be especially dicey.
The results of an Iowa State University field experiment conducted in 2019 with the soybean cyst nematode (SCN) showed up to a $200 per acre yield difference between different varieties.
Iowa State University Extension says a buildup of SCN numbers can go unrecognized because a soybean crop often doesn't appear stressed above ground, even though yield loss is occurring.
Ohio State University Extension reviews the loss levels for soybean cyst nematodes for the majority of soil types in the state, and what those levels mean for growers.
Ray Rauenhorst has been aerial seeding winter rye amid his standing no-till corn as part of a research and demonstration project and has been pleased with the results.
Aerial seeding of winter rye into standing corn may reduce soybean cyst nematode populations and — at least on some soil types — boost yields by up to 4 bushels per acre.
