Brief Project Summary:

Soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is the number one soybean pest in the United States. In Wisconsin, SCN has been identified in more than 40 counties. Current management strategies to minimize SCN include planting SCN-resistant varieties, crop rotation and rotating sources of resistance. In order to develop more specific management guidelines, further research is needed to quantify the effects of tillage, crop and variety rotation, and sources of SCN resistance used in the variety rotation. The objective of this project is to characterize the effect of the source of SCN resistance, crop and variety rotation, and tillage on SCN populations. The experiment design is a randomized complete block split-spilt...

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.
