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.

    As we are in or just getting done with many hunting seasons, asking an Agronomist to pick a Nitrogen (N) rate for your corn crop is akin to a asking a hunter what his or her favorite weapon to hunt with is. The answer in both instances is probably “well it depends.” As an Agronomist, before recommending a nitrogen rate, I typically ask several questions. It’s often said that the number of questions I might ask is comparable to the number of inquiries new parents make when consulting a physician about their child.
