Mizzou Crop Path representing at the 2025 Missouri Soybean Center Symposium.
Congrats to @JeffBarizon on winning the poster competition with his presentation on plant parasitic nematodes in Missouri soybean.

A half-inch difference in placement of a #soilprobe can mean the difference between 0-1,500 #SCN eggs in #soilsamples. Collect 15-20 core samples, 1 inch diameter, 8 inches deep, every 20 acres. Explore SCN soil sampling tips at bit.ly/3xT6JW7.

What is the #SCN female index on PI 88788?
Greg Tylka, Iowa State University nematologist, explains how the SCN Profit Checker uses information like this to gauge potential yield and profit losses.

Estimating yield and profit losses from #SCN is easy — just enter this info in the SCN Profit Checker tool:
1. SCN egg count
2. SCN female index on PI 88788
3. Sand content
4. Soil pH
That's it! Try it now at scnprofitchecker.com.

A successful active #SCN management plan should include these four components:
1. Soil sample your fields to know your numbers
2. Rotate SCN-resistant varieties
3. Rotate to non-host crops
4. Consider a nematode-protectant seed treatment
What’s your number?
Why is it important to know your SCN number?
Mandy Bish, assistant professor of plant pathology at the University of Missouri, explains why soybean farmers need to test soil for SCN to know their numbers and take action.

The best time to soil sample for #SCN is at the end of the season. If you have not yet, there is still time!

Soil sampling for #nematodes in undisturbed areas across Missouri as part of my PhD research. Lots of scratches but lots of fun as well. Thanks to the Missouri Department of Natural Resources and Thousand Hills State Park personnel. Go Tigers!
Are you smarter than a nematode? Take the test to see if you know which crops host Southern root-knot nematode.
Answer the quiz by noon (CT) Friday for a chance to win a prize.
Winners will be announced on #NematodeDay, Oct. 2, sponsored by @BayerUS.
