A plant pathologist says the chances that farmers could eradicate soybean cyst nematode from their fields is unlikely.
“It’s going to be there forever, unfortunately, barring some sort of treatment in the future.”
But, Dylan Mangel with University of Nebraska Extension says, there are ways to limit disease pressure. “Testing is the best way to truly figure out if you have it. There are several state programs, as well as, private labs that you can soil to test for.”
He tells Brownfield producers can also select a variety with resistance.
