SCN life cycle with respect to the discovery of a highly effective trap crop: egg activation; 2nd stage juvenile hatch; 2nd stage juvenile emergence; successful soybean root finding; successful root penetration; successful within root migration; successful identification of a suitable feeding site; release of an incompatible chemical signal; plant failure to produce functional nurse cells; SCN death; Rf=0.01-0.10.
2015-2016 SCN trap crop research activities:
four field trials - 2 in Lansing and 1 each in Dundee and Edwardsburg; 7 greenhouse experiments; 17 plant cultivars evaluated.
