Brief Project Summary:

Soybean cyst nematode is overcoming the main source of genetic resistance, PI 88788, used in 95% of commercially-available SCN-resistant soybean varieties, and negatively impacting yields. Farmers need new SCN resistant management strategies, such as expanding the use of Peking source of resistance, used in only 5% of commercial soybean varieties, new sources of SCN resistance, and stacking multiple sources of resistance in the same variety. The ultimate goal is to identify alternative resistance genes and gene combinations that, when used in rotation, will reduce SCN population densities and slow selection pressure on SCN to adapt.

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.
