The SCN Coalition

There is no single “magic bullet” to fight SCN. Experts recommend these four components for a successful active SCN management plan: 1. Test your fields to know your numbers 2. Rotate resistant varieties 3. Rotate to non-host crops 4. Consider using a nematode-protectant seed treatment Learn more about active management strategies to safeguard soybean crops against SCN. https://lnkd.in/gRimXW-A #SCN #Agriculture #Agribusiness #Farming #AgricultureEducation #TakeTheTest #BeatThePest

To combat soybean cyst nematode (SCN), these active management strategies should be incorporated into soybean farming: 1) Test soil to know SCN numbers. 2) Rotate SCN-resistant soybean varieties. 3) Rotate to non-host crops. 4) Consider seed treatments.

The SCN Coalition’s goal is to help soybean farmers be more profitable and achieve higher yields through active SCN management. Subscribe to our e-newsletter to learn how to protect yields, as well as the research being conducted to beat SCN.

Soybean cyst nematode (SCN) continues to spread throughout soybean-producing states, causing more than a billion dollars worth of yield loss each year. Explore the expansion and distribution of SCN in North America at https://bit.ly/3GxrdVv.

Managing soybean cyst nematode (SCN) involves more than just planting an SCN-resistant variety. Farmers need to know their SCN numbers to determine the best management strategies based on data from their own fields. Learn more at thescncoalition.com.

It’s time for farmers to spring into action with soybean cyst nematode (SCN) soil testing! That means for fields that haven’t been planted yet, they should collect 20 cores from every 20 acres or so from the upper 8 inches of soil. Share these tips for spring SCN soil testing.

Nematode-protectant seed treatments help protect soybean roots from SCN early in the growing season by preventing or slowing growth of future generations. Learn more at https://bit.ly/3VsyBdv.

We are thankful for the support from BASF Agricultural Solutions, Syngenta, Nufarm and Bayer for making National Nematode Day a success. Learn more about this recognition and why spreading awareness of parasitic nematodes like SCN is important for the sustainability of soybean production.

Overreliance on PI 88788 has led to a major resistance challenge. Farmers may be tempted to plant fast acting and highly effective Peking varieties year after year, but experts warn against that. Discover more about the importance of rotating sources of SCN resistance: https://bit.ly/43wgDc6.

Choice of cover crop may significantly impact a soybean field’s SCN population. That’s why it’s important for farmers to choose the right cover crops for SCN-infested fields. See what the experts say.
