Brief Project Summary:

Soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is a persistent threat to growers throughout Minnesota. Fields infested with SCN are more susceptible to other disease, pest, and environmental stresses. Moreover, some parts of Minnesota have seen a breakdown in varietal resistance, with the appearance of new SCN races capable of overcoming the widely grown 88788 source of resistance. With this in mind, our overall objective is to advance the development of SCN-resistant soybean varieties as well as provide accurate and unbiased sources of information on the resistance of commercial soybean varieties. Our specific aims are to: 1) Enhance the efficiency and efficacy of breeding for SCN resistance through the deployment...

Final Project Results

Updated June 8, 2020:

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.
