Invisible beneath the soil surface, soybean cyst nematode and other plant-parasitic nematodes may be quietly reducing Illinois soybean yields, making soil testing and management more important than ever.
Plant-parasitic nematodes are a widespread but often overlooked threat in Illinois soybean fields, with soybean cyst nematode (SCN) remaining the state's most damaging soybean pest. Because SCN rarely causes visible above-ground symptoms, infestations can go unnoticed while yields decline. Research from the University of Illinois and the Illinois Soybean Association shows that SCN is present in many Illinois fields and that some populations are adapting to commonly used resistance sources. At the same time, other nematode species may also be contributing to yield losses, yet much remains unknown about their distribution, impact, and interaction with crops and cover crops. Ongoing research and free soil testing programs are helping farmers better understand and manage these hidden yield-robbing pests.
