Refocusing on Soybean Cyst Nematode Management

BY Dairyland Seed Agronomy Team
2024 Soybeans Insect Control

The most important management tactic for soybean cyst nematode (SCN) has been breeding and selection of soybean varieties with genetic resistance to SCN. The rhg1b gene from PI88788 source of SCN resistance has lost effectiveness for SCN control in many fields, meaning that SCN once again poses a threat to soybean yield that requires grower attention and management. SCN testing, rotations with varieties containing different sources of resistance such as Peking, rotation to non-host crops, and nematicide seed treatments are all important tools in a SCN management plan.

  • Protect Your Soybean Yield with Seed Treatments
    Farmers often ask the Dairyland Seed Agronomy Team if treated soybeans are worth the investment. It’s a good question, especially when deciding on seed varieties for the 2025 growing season. With rising input costs and tight margins, treating soybeans should be considered a critical capital investment for the 2025 program.

  • Crop Bulletin: Nitrogen Fertilizers and Stabilizers for Corn Production
    Nitrogen (N) fertilizer is a critical input in corn production. One of the most challenging aspects of successfully managing nitrogen is the fact that nitrogen from fertilizer can be lost from the soil before the corn crop is able to take it up. Under prolonged wet field conditions and warm temperatures, nitrogen can be lost either by leaching – the downward movement of nitrates below the root zone, or denitrification – loss to the atmosphere caused by reactions in the soil under anaerobic conditions.
