Brief Project Summary:

Shifts in soybean cyst nematode (SCN) virulence are reported in other states. The standard assessment of SCN virulence, commonly referred to as SCN HG type, is done by comparing the reproduction of a SCN population being tested to soybeans with known resistance genes and to a susceptible line with no resistance genes.

This basic information is needed to alert Nebraska soybean growers to the HG types of SCN populations in Nebraska and to allow them to select soybean varieties with specific genetics resistance to overcome these native SCN populations. Being able to type the SCN populations will reduce yield losses due to SCN problem fields where common resistant varieties are not performing...

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.
