In-Season Agronomy
University of Illinois Crop Science Variety Trials – Protein, Oil and SCN Resistance
In addition to using the SCIO CNST NIR technology on the combine to determine the protein and oil content of each tested variety, soil samples will be collected at harvest to assess population levels of soybean cyst nematode (SCN). Data will be shared with Illinois farmers through several methods, including the UI Variety Trial website.
