SCN Resistance Trait on the Way
BASF is introducing the first and only biotech soybean cyst nematode resistance trait. Nemasphere will be stacked with the Enlist E3 technology and will be available in a full range of soybean seed varieties. BASF has been field testing this…
Dry Bean Scene
In this week’s Dry Bean Scene, NDSU Extension Plant Pathologist Sam Markell says soybean cyst nematode was saw high populations in some dry bean areas. The Dry Bean Scene is brought to you by the Northarvest Bean Growers Association.
APHIS Seeks Input on New Bt SCN Variety
USDA is seeking public comment on the fate of a new herbicide-tolerant soybean variety that is resistant to soybean cyst nematode. The BASF variety would be the first commercially available Bt soybeans that focuses on SCN. The comment period continues…
New SCN Resistant Variety Coming From Syngenta
Syngenta is releasing a new soybean variety with a new resistance source for soybean cyst nematode. Small quantities will be available this year to researchers and key farm cooperators with a full commercial launch scheduled for 2021. Nearly all of…
Don’t Forget to Check for Soybean Cyst Nematode
Soybean cyst nematode can be found across the Red River Valley. BASF Seed Treatment Technical Field Representative Troy Bauer says farmers should check for the pathogen with a soil test. "A lot of times farmers can have a 30 percent…
Significant SCN Issues
Minnesota’s Soybean Cyst Nematode testing program evaluated samples from 28 counties statewide, with the majority of those samples from the northwest corner of the state. Over half of the samples tested positive for SCN. Forty-five percent had egg densities high…
Genetic Resistance Challenges with SCN
In parts of the Corn Belt, genetic resistance to soybean cyst nematode is being overcome by the pathogen. NDSU Extension Plant Pathologist Sam Markell says resistance in the plants aren’t working well. “In North Dakota, it’s not that significant yet.…
Keep SCN Numbers in Check
GL Crop Consulting president Greg LaPlante says Soybean Cyst Nematode is starting to overwhelm some varieties in southeastern North Dakota fields. "This is happening in varieties that had low to moderate resistance. SCN reproductive rates were higher than normal this year."…
