Soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is the most costly pest in U.S. soybeans today, routinely reducing yields in affected fields by 5 bushels or more per acre, according to the Crop Protection Network.

The interim CEO of the Missouri Soybean Association says the recently approved state ag budget includes funding to build a ...

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.

AMES, Iowa – Targeting a newly discovered vulnerability in the signals that cyst nematodes use to infect plant roots could be a powerful method for reducing the damage the parasitic worms cause in ...

Soybean growers across the globe face a silent but devastating threat: the soybean cyst nematode (SCN). This microscopic pathogen attacks soybean roots, jeopardizing crop yields and causing more ...

Four cultivars, Delsoy 4710, Delsoy 5710, Choska, and Pioneer brand 9492 have resistance to the soybean cyst nematode (SCN) as well. Identified in 1998, Delsoy 5710 is resistant to SSS and all races ...

The soybean cyst nematode undergoes several stages of juvenile development, including one in which it completely loses mobility. Males regain mobility at a later stage. Research from the ...

A new study opens new avenues for combating soybean cyst nematodes, the most damaging pest for U.S. soybean crops. Targeting a newly discovered vulnerability in the signals that cyst nematodes use ...

Cyst nematodes produce their effectors in their esophageal glands. In prior research, Baum’s lab sequenced both the whole genome of the soybean cyst nematode and the transcriptome of its gland ...

That could lead to major progress in reducing the destructiveness of soybean cyst nematodes, which cost U.S. farmers nearly 90 million bushels in production last year—by far the crop's most ...
