Brief Project Summary:

Soybean cyst nematode is a key limiting factor in soybean production in both Michigan and throughout the world. While it is currently being managed through the use of resistant varieties, there is a distinct need for new technologies for controlling this pest.

The research protocol for SCN Trap cops will include a comparison of nematode development associated with a SCN susceptible soybean variety, SCN resistant (PI548402) soybean variety, beet cyst nematode trap crop and three potential SCN trap crops (BioFum, Cappichino and Terranova). Greenhouse conetainers will be used for this 56-day protocol, with each of six replicate experimental units being destructively sampled every 14...

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.
