Soybean Cyst Nematodes (SCN) are major soybean pest and are responsible for extensive crop and economic losses. Effective management strategies are limited for this pest with the two most common options being crop rotation and the use of resistant varieties. Despite the effectiveness of available resistant varieties, there is a lack of diversity in the source of resistance. Repeated use of a single resistance source can result in SCN populations that overcome the resistance. The objectives of this study is to compare sources of resistance on SCN reproduction, the use of poultry manure on populations of SCN when applied during nonĀ host years of crop rotation.
