Increase Your SCN Knowledge, Test Your Soils!

BY Dairyland Seed Agronomy Team

To improve soybean product performance on your farm, there may be free options in your geography that allows you to test for Soybean Cyst Nematode (SCN) to accomplish this task. These free options are funded by Soybean Growers Boards or Council or other entities. Due to funding parameters, there may be a limited number of free samples, check with the provider to ensure these tests are covered.

While submission and packaging requirements vary by testing entity, we encourage you to be proactive and test your soils to ensure that the information is in place to capitalize on management tactics that can support our yield and profitability goals.

For more information on SCN see the Refocusing on SCN Management Crop Bulletin.
