Using Electrically Polarized Nanomaterials to Help Control SCN and SDS in Soybeans
Evaluate electrically polarized nanomaterials as a novel tool to control soybean cyst nematode (SCN) and sudden death syndrome (SDS), building on lab results that show rapid pathogen deactivation and moving into greenhouse trials for further testing.
Are There Biological-Based Products That Can Promote Plant Growth While Also Protecting Against RCR When Soybeans Are Planted Later To Avoid Heavy Pathogen Incidence?
Known as the billion-dollar pest, soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is reported to annually cost North American soybean producers $1.5 billion in lost yield.
How Does Infection Timing and Soybean Cyst Nematode Impact Infestation of Red Crown Rot in Soybean Fields, and What Options Do I Have for Control?
Known as the billion-dollar pest, soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is reported to annually cost North American soybean producers $1.5 billion in lost yield.
Diversifying Genetic Resistance to Soybean Cyst Nematode
Developing new soybean varieties with stacked SCN resistance genes, giving farmers more options to rotate and better manage SCN in their fields.
Using Genetic Engineering to Help Control Soybean Cyst Nematode
Using genetic engineering, including CRISPR, to find new ways to reduce SCN reproduction and survival, with lab testing to identify the best options.
What Tools Are Available To Help Detect and Monitor Red Crown Rot Across Illinois Soybean Fields?
Known as the billion-dollar pest, soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is reported to annually cost North American soybean producers $1.5 billion in lost yield.
Free Soybean Cyst Nematode Testing for Illinois Farmers
Offer free SCN soil sampling to help farmers determine presence, population levels, and response to available soybean resistance sources.
Measuring How Insect Pests Impact Yields and the Value of Pest Control Products
Understanding which insect pests affect soybean yields and how often pest control products deliver a profitable return in Illinois fields.
Which Cover Crops Can Help Suppress Populations of SCN?
This project is using five established cover crop fields throughout Illinois to determine how different types of cover crops affect soybean cyst nematode (SCN) populations.
How Extensive Is Resistance to Group 15 Herbicides in Illinois Waterhemp Populations?
To better understand the frequency of resistance to Group 15 herbicides, this project will collect and screen waterhemp populations from Illinois soybean fields.
