Over 1,000 SCN Samples Processed Across 66 Illinois Counties
In this blog post, Nathan Schroeder reveals the growing data on soybean cyst nematode across Illinois, with over 1,000 samples processed from 66 counties. SCN is proving to be widespread, but uneven sample distribution poses a challenge to fully understanding the threat.
Free Soybean Cyst Nematode Sampling Available for Illinois Growers
In partnership with the University of Illinois, ISA aims to establish a baseline SCN population in soybean fields statewide. Even if you've tested for SCN before, populations could be increasing.
Is the Peking Trait the Answer for Soybean Cyst Nematode?
Planning next year's seed selection? Consider choosing soybeans with Peking resistance to manage Soybean Cyst Nematode. Stephanie Porter, CCA, shares research results from Southern Illinois University's SCN and root knot nematode research site.
Can Henbit Serve As A Host Away from Soybean?
Illinois Soybean Association Outreach Agronomist, Stephanie Porter, CCA, shares the challenges of winter annual weeds, highlighting henbit and purple deadnettle as alternative hosts of soybean cyst nematode. Research suggests that managing winter annuals in the fall, applying residual herbicides, and removing winter weeds before planting are crucial strategies for management.
Combating Soybean Cyst Nematode With Advancements In Genomic and Breeding Technologies
Learn about the evolving threat of soybean cyst nematode (SCN) and how researchers are tracking genetic changes in worm populations in response to soybean hosts. Dr. Matthew Hudson and Dr. Andrew Scaboo discuss SCN genome insights and innovative strategies using native genes against resistant SCN variants, such as those in PI 88788 and Peking.
Combating Soybean Cyst Nematode With Advancements In Genomic and Breeding Technologies
Participate in an ILSoyAdvisor webinar on March 14th, discovering the advancements in genomic and breeding technologies to tackle the evolving soybean cyst nematode resistance challenges such as those found in PI 88788 and Peking.
Update on Free Soybean Cyst Nematode Sampling
Nathan Schroeder provides an update on the free Soybean Cyst Nematode sampling initiative, supported by the Illinois Soybean Association check-off program.
Researchers Continue to Strengthen and Refine Soybean SCN Resistance
A team of researchers has been collaborating on a complex project to enhance Soybean Cyst Nematode resistance with long-term, strategic SCN management. The project, supported by the North Central Soybean Research Program, holds great potential for soybean farmers.
A Silent Threat: The Growing Concern of SCN in Soybean Fields
Soybean cyst nematode remains a critical threat to soybean yields, with populations adapting to the predominant source of resistance. The problem is intensifying and farmers are encouraged to monitor SCN and consider diversified management strategies.
