U.S. soybean farmers face a $1 billion problem each year in the form of yield losses from soybean cyst nematode (SCN). 1 Yet rather than throw up your hands in defeat, get down in the soil and get ...
Microbe Interactions (MPMI), researchers have uncovered a wealth of previously untapped genetic resistance to soybean cyst nematode by mining deep into soybean genomes.
Soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is the number one yield-robbing pest in soybeans in the United States, affecting over 200,000 growers and costing them an estimated $1.5 billion in yield annually.¹ Despite ...
October is known as soybean cyst nematode action month because this is the best time to get out and soil sample for SCN. The end of a soybean season is when SCN levels will be at their highest in the ...
"Really affects the uptake." Researchers find shocking new use for soybeans that could affect entire planet: 'It doesn't see ...
Soybean cyst nematodes are quite small and require the help of a microscope to see them poking out of the roots of a soybean plant in a lab at Iowa State University. (Photo by Cami Koons/Iowa Capital ...
Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol. 60, No. 1 (2009), pp. 315-324 (10 pages) Cyst nematodes are highly evolved sedentary plant endoparasites that use parasitism proteins injected through the stylet ...
The soybean cyst nematode (Heterodera glycines) is the most significant nematode pest affecting soybeans on Delmarva and in the United States. First detected in Delaware in the fall of 1979, the ...
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Identification of soils that inhibit a tiny soybean-destroying organism is an important tool in reducing yield losses, according to a Purdue University plant pathologist.
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – The soybean farmer's biggest enemy – a tiny parasitic worm known as the soybean cyst nematode – will soon not be a worry, thanks to Purdue University scientists and Midwestern ...
Northarvest Bean Growers Association is funding test kits for dry edible bean growers to test the soil for soybean cyst nematodes, which can severely impact yields in soybeans and dry beans. The ...
The soybean cyst nematode, one of the crop's most destructive pests, isn't like most of its wormy relatives. Whereas the vast majority of nematodes look like the microscopic worms they are, the female ...
