We have quite a few mode of actions, a lot of different chemistries, but ultimately the individual products are there to kill those nematodes. Okay.

Yeah, they've spread pretty much everywhere rapidly. They definitely have preferences. I think nematode in general, they need some sand in that soil so they can get around. They need pockets in there. So compared to a bacteria, these are much larger. So they need to be able to move around or swim around in those soil pockets. So we typically see worse damage in those sandy soils.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

I'd say just pulling plants isn't even enough because... Depending on soil type, especially unless you have really sandy soils, those cysts are going to fall off really easily. So it's actually pretty difficult to dig those. And, you know, we'll try it sometimes. We'll dig them up and we will very carefully pull soil off and see if we can see those.

But even then, that can be deceiving if you pull that up and have nothing there. Really, soil testing is the only consistent option to see if that's in there. fortunately, a lot of states have free or checkoff funded soil testing programs for soybean cyst nematode. I know we have one here in Nebraska. Any Nebraska farmer can bring our lab soil samples and we'll tell them if they have it.

Horacio, you guys are the same in Ohio, correct? Yeah, correct.

And I'm not sure off the top of my head, but several other states also have programs. So if you have questions, I think the first place I'd start is with your local extension in your state or your local extension service, and they could probably guide you right to the most – economical testing option in your state?

Well, the great thing about this nematode as far as sampling is it's always going to stay in the top of the soil profile. Some of the corn nematodes will move up and down at different times of the year. So you got to really time those perfectly. This one you can sample any time of the year and at any point in your rotation.
