Uncover the hidden threat in your soybean fields with our latest episode of Spilling the Beans! Join hosts Jeff Mueller and Bill Backus as they promise to arm you with the knowledge needed to tackle soybean cyst nematode (SCN) head-on. With Dr. Troy Bauer, a pest management expert, offering his insights, we shed light on SCN's biology and the severe damage it causes through root penetration. Discover why SCN is a looming concern, particularly in states like Iowa, Nebraska, and Kansas, and hear the compelling story of a farmer in Northwest Iowa who learned the hard way about his field's SCN infestation through soil testing.
Learn effective strategies to manage SCN and protect your yields. From understanding how SCN spreads through equipment and waterways to the financial toll it takes on U.S. farmers, estimated at $1.5 billion annually, we discuss a multi-layered approach to combat these yield-robbing pests. Strategies such as rotating crops with non-host varieties like corn, planting resistant soybean varieties, and using seed treatments like Alevo are discussed in detail. We also emphasize the importance of rotating resistance sources to effectively reduce SCN levels and safeguard your hard-earned yields.
In addition to management techniques, we delve into the critical role of seed treatments like BASF's Ilevo and Votivo and stress using soil sampling programs for monitoring SCN presence. Valuable resources like Iowa State's SCN trials and the Soybean Cyst Nematode Coalition website are highlighted as go-to guides for further support. Don't miss out on this essential discussion for any soybean producer looking to protect their crops from this persistent pest. Join us next time as we continue exploring vital topics in soybean agriculture.
