SCN management for 2026 and beyond

The soybean cyst nematode (SCN) continues to be a major yield-reducing soybean pathogen in the US and Canada. Soybean varieties with Peking SCN resistance genetics have become more available in recent years to complement use of varieties with the very common PI 88788 SCN resistance genetics. New and existing seed treatments that target SCN may provide some yield protection in SCN-infested fields as well. The specific effects of these management options will be discussed in this presentation with emphasis on integrating and coordinating their use for maximum long-term effectiveness.
