Brief Project Summary:

Soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is known to exist in about 50% of Michigan's soybean acreage. For the past two decades, SCN has been managed primarily with resistant varieties. During the past five years, however, there have been several changes in relation to SCN and its management. These include: 1) development of highly aggressive SCN populations due to consistent use of varieties derived from PI88788, 2) lack of readily available varieties with SCN resistance derived from alternate sources of resistance, 3) development of seed treatments for control of SCN, 4) development of plant health regulators, and 5) recognition of the significance of the importance of Soil Health in relation to the...

Information And Results
Final Project Results

The United Soybean Research Retention policy will display final reports with the project once completed but working files will be purged after three years. And financial information after seven years. All pertinent information is in the final report or if you want more information, please contact the project lead at your state soybean organization or principal investigator listed on the project.
