Soybean Cyst nematode sampling 

By Horacio Lopez-Nicora, OSU Soybean Disease Specialist; edited by Mark  Badertscher-OSU Extension, Hardin County

HARDIN COUNTY– The soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is the most economically important  pathogen of soybean in North America and continues to spread throughout Ohio. If SCN levels  are above damage threshold, significant yield reduction can often take place without visible  symptoms. To know if the nematode is present in a field, soil sample for SCN testing must be  properly collected. The presence of SCN in a field, but most importantly, the SCN numbers will  determine the best management strategy. Therefore, you need to test your fields to know your  SCN numbers.
