NASHUA, Iowa --By knowing that their fields have soybean cyst nematode and managing for it, farmers can reap an additional seven bushels per acre. "It won't cost you any more money,'' said Greg Tylka, ...

University of Arkansas scientists study soybean cyst nematode proteins to develop gene-edited soybean varieties resistant to ...

"Fight-or-flight" is not an option for plants, unfortunately, when it comes to pathogen attacks. Instead, plants opt for "do-or-die." A deeper insight into the genetic mechanisms that enable plants to ...

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 to ...

October is known as soybean cyst nematode action month because this is the best time to get out and soil sample for SCN. The end of a soybean season is when SCN levels will be at their highest in the ...
