Dylan Mangel

Yeah, thanks for having me. My name is Dylan Mangel, and I'm the extension soybean pathologist at the University of Nebraska. And I'm actually from Nebraska, too, going up around row crop operations. And now I get to focus just on the diseases that we see on those soybeans.

Yeah, so soybean cyst nematode, it's a non-native pest. It's a non-native parasite to the U.S. And as soybean production moved across this country and really, really ramped up, this pest sort of moved with it. It's a nematode. It's basically survives in the soil and it's going to parasitize those roots, just sort of sapping yield away from those nematodes.

And the big reason we need to talk about it is because it's oftentimes going to steal some level, often significant levels of yield without noticeable above ground symptoms. So it's not going to turn the plant red or purple. You can't really just see it's out there. You might just be missing some yield and you might not know why.

And sometimes it might be low enough that you don't really even think about it. But it's still taking that money out of your pocket.

Yeah, so the history of how it got here, I think there's probably differing ideas on how it got here, but it sort of showed up in the Carolinas. It showed up up the East Coast, and then it kind of followed the Missouri River up and Mississippi River up, actually the Mississippi mostly, and spread out from there. In Nebraska, for example, where I am, we didn't have it until 1986.

And it hit one of those edge counties along the river. It followed that river up and then it's consistently worked west from there. And now we pretty much have it in every county that's growing soybeans in the state. We're still adding some new ones as soybeans continue to move west, but it's going to move around with soil. It's going to move

Even if wind is blowing soil, it's going to move around. So it's able to consistently march along and it's ultimately just going to follow everywhere beans go.
