Amplifying Ag with BASF: Sudden Death Syndrome and Soybean Cyst Nematode ocj.com/2024/08/amplif…

I’ve been scouting fields the past few days and seeing many cases of active SCN in Eastern North Dakota. Lots of new cysts (yellow lemon shaped structures) and mature cysts (brown lemons). Now’s a great time to dig roots and see if SCN is impacting your crops. The SCN Coalition

Your #SCN battle strategy starts with soil testing to know how many opponents you’re up against. University of Nebraska-Lincoln Plant Pathologist Dylan Mangel shares 3 reasons to test soil for SCN.

A lot of great things happened at this conference, including this!

Monitoring #soybean cyst nematode (#SCN) egg counts through soil tests helps farmers make more informed management decisions. See what to consider when evaluating SCN soil sample results and how to create a successful active management plan. bit.ly/478Iak4

#SCN continues to spread throughout #soybean-producing areas in North America. Hear management insights from Nathan Schroeder, University of Illinois Nematologist, and Dair McDuffee, Valent USA Product Manager. Discover more resources at TheSCNCoalition.com.

#SCN can make other #soybean diseases like sudden death syndrome (#SDS) worse. Oomycete pathogens such as #Phytophthora and #Pythium can have an additive impact on yields as well. Explore ways to mitigate damage from these pathogens. bit.ly/4bZ6HdP

Actively managing #SCN starts with a soil test! #Farmers need to know which fields have SCN and what the egg counts are to make the best planting and management decisions. Discover more expert insights at TheSCNCoalition.com. #TakeTheTest #Plants bit.ly/3LPBcbb

With the help of partners like Valent USA and University of Illinois, The SCN Coalition continues to spread the word about the importance of active SCN management. Explore SCN management resources and expert advice at TheSCNCoalition.com.

Researchers have made a major discovery in the fight against SCN. They took a relatively uncharted path and focused on the genetics of the parasitic roundworms. Learn what this means for the future of SCN management. thescncoalition.com/news/2024/08/2…

Some state #soybean boards offer free #SCN soil testing for #farmers in their state. Why? Because SCN is the soybean crop’s No. 1 threat, year after year. Get SCN soil testing tips from your state experts — and make plans to test fields this fall. bit.ly/3tsUayS

Researchers are always pursuing more ways to #BeatThePest

If left unmanaged, #SCN populations can increase very quickly in a #growing season. Regular soil testing empowers #farmers to proactively manage this costly pest for healthier #soybean #crops and better #yields. Find state-specific recommendations at bit.ly/3tsUayS

Did you know #SCN eggs can survive in soil for years, even in water-logged soils? If you’re thinking about #planting decisions for next season, remember to rotate to non-host #crops to help manage SCN populations. Explore more #soybean planting tips. bit.ly/4aTzXD4

Protect #soybean #yields from #SCN with these strategies: - Test fields to know numbers - Rotate SCN-resistant soybean varieties - Rotate to non-host crops - Consider #nematode-protectant seed treatments TheSCNCoalition.com #KnowYourNumber #Plants bit.ly/3Yp8Nk2

#Soybean resistance alone cannot combat soybean cyst nematode (#SCN) yield loss. An active, multipronged defense is necessary. Learn about new tools being developed to actively manage SCN, including biocontrol and pest management strategies. #TakeTheTest bit.ly/3PxKmvt

See how farmers used insights from #SCN soil test results to improve their planting and active management plans. Thank you to Pam Smith, JasonJenkinsDTN and DTN/Progressive Farmer for shedding light on this yield-grabbing pathogen of #soybean crops! thescncoalition.com/news/2024/06/2…

SCN researchers made a major discovery in the fight against soybean cyst nematode. This lays the groundwork for: ✅ Faster testing of SCN populations ✅ Better resistance management ✅ New defenses against SCN Learn more. thescncoalition.com/news/2024/08/2…
