Scouting for SCN – Time to Get Digging
More soybean varieties with Peking SCN resistance for 2023, but more needed
Dig into Scouting for SCN
Updated SCN-resistant Soybean Variety List Has More with Peking Resistance than Ever
Soybean Growers Need an Integrated Approach When Fighting Nematode
But a new problem is emerging – slowly but surely – as the soybean cyst nematode (SCN) becomes resistant to the resistance. Today, Greg Tylka said the data show SCN is found in 70% to 75% of Iowa’s fields, with an annual yield reduction ranging from 5% to 50%, depending on the level of infestation and the weather.
Iowa Pest Resistance Management Plan Unveiled
DES MOINES – Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey, Iowa State University College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Associate Dean John Lawrence and Iowa farmer Larry Buss of Logan today announced the release of the Iowa Pest Resistance Management Plan. A video of the announcement is available here.
Version 1 of the IPRMP is an Iowa-specific plan that seeks to engage farmers on the issue of pest resistance management with the goal of keeping technology and tools such as pesticides, seed treatments and biotechnology products and native traits available and effective.
Sampling for Soybean Cyst Nematode (SCN)
Ed Zaworski, of the Plant and Insect Diagnostic Clinic at Iowa State University, discusses sampling for soybean cyst nematode (SCN). He gives tips and pointers on when and how to sample as well as how to properly ship your sample to the clinic for analysis.

SCN resistance for long-term SCN Management
Monica Pennewitt, Iowa State University graduate student, discusses her research on soybean cyst nematode.The soybean cyst nematode (SCN) or Heterodera glycines is the most damaging pathogen to soybean production in North America. Current annual yield losses are estimated at more than $1.2 billion.Though SCN-resistant soybean varieties are available to minimize yield loss, producers are faced with limited options for rotation once virulent SCN populations develop in their fields.
