Growing soybean varieties with a source of soybean cyst nematode (SCN) resistance other than PI 88788 can increase yields as a result of better nematode control, says Iowa State University. For improved resistance to SCN, check out this resource when selecting soybean varieties.
There are a lot of agronomic benefits for planting cover crops such as soil health, soil erosion control, weed reduction, animal feed and nutrient recycling. For soybean producers dealing with soybean cyst nematode (SCN) in their fields, selection of cover crops is important since some of these can be hosts for SCN, says South Dakota State University.
Soilborne pathogens and fungal diseases are likely concerns for corn and soybean no-tillers this season, but pathologists say pay particular attention to soybean cyst nematodes, sudden death syndrome, tar spot and target spot.
Soybean cyst nematode (SCN) and sudden death syndrome (SDS) are expected to plague U.S. no-till soybean producers again this year, especially if the local planting season is accompanied by cooler and wetter than average conditions.
There is an increasing interest regarding the potential for cover crops and soybean cyst nematode to interact in the field. Particularly with the possibility that cover crops could decrease soybean cyst nematoden numbers.
Michigan State University Extension experts discuss the principle challenges and risks of planting second-year soybeans and provide some management recommendations for mitigating them.
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.
