Brief Project Summary:

Soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is the most important disease in terms of yield loss in Minnesota. The most recent distribution of SCN indicates that SCN is present in most, if not all, counties in Minnesota. The most effective way to manage SCN is to use resistant varieties. This proposal is to test public and private SCN resistant varieties throughout the soybean growing areas of Minnesota. We will test commercially available SCN resistant varieties at three or four SCN infested locations in the northern, central, and southern zones. We also want to give soybean growers a chance to nominate widely grown SCN resistant varieties not entered by companies.

We plan to take soil samples for...

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.
