Soybean Cyst Nematode: The Silent Threat Stealing Your Yield

So, you know, you're getting to spring, coming out of winter, it's getting warmer, those eggs will hatch. There's another cohort that will only hatch if it smells soybean, if there is exudates of the host. And there's a third cohort, which is an enigma, which will hatch whenever they want. It's time dependent. You provide warm temperature, they don't hatch.

In Ohio, we provide up to two samples free of charge for growers. They can submit a There are samples, and we'll process those for soybean cyst nematode, and then we'll report numbers of eggs per 100 cc of soil, cubic centimeters of soil.

Yeah, and that's a great comment, Corey, because we have been trained as growers to pull samples for our soil test, soil lab nutrients, right? We do it routinely, right? That same soil sample, we can pull a soup sample and send it to a nematology lab. We collect it in the same way. that task that really going out and getting the soil sample is the most time-consuming part of doing it.

So from a commercial soybean field, 27,000. So we usually get a couple of those every year. Yeah. And it's really hard to bring those levels down. And that's one of the, you know, best management strategies to actively sample and identify if you have soybean cyst nematode that you do, and then try to keep those levels low, which is easier than trying to bring higher levels down.

And you say 350, correct, Corey? Yeah, that's my highest. And that's great because I consider those low numbers maybe not even causing much damage yet. But then how cautious we need to be about that low level and how in one season it can explode if we feed that nematode a very susceptible soybean in a very conducive environmental condition.

And we have growers that engaged in, in these, uh, experiment that, that I proposed, uh, them, you know, they sample in spring before planting and they come with very low numbers. And then my request is let's go to the same site and sample again in fall and levels of 400 or 200, very low, um, by the end of that season were above that thousand levels that Dylan was talking about.
