Soybean Cyst Nematode: The Silent Threat Stealing Your Yield

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.

That would be, that would be excellent. And maybe you guys can have us back, you know, we can do a part two after harvest.

Yes, correct. For some reason, alkaline soil, higher pH soil, for some reason in those sites, the reproduction rate is higher. What would you say?

That's a nice way to target where you're going to start sampling sometimes. It's like, where do I start? Should I just take our random cross-section sample? That's fine. But maybe you want to be strategic and have comparisons. What we normally recommend is entryways, areas where soil will move, either because of water flowing, high pH content,

And then you can have multiple sites where you are evaluating. Using yield maps from previous year, it's another one. Most of my growers have come to realize that they had soybeans is nematode because we went to those low yielding spot that they have, you know, did everything and still continue yield low, right? So we took a soil sample, soybeans is nematode.

Yep. Compared to 30 with higher numbers, yes, in that sense, right? And actually, this calculator is becoming very handy to move away from tables that talk about low, high, moderate, right? because it takes more into account certain aspects of Cory's field.

I can take this question. It's a good one, because we get a lot of these questions, you know, and one of the comments that we receive is, I farm heavy soil, so I don't have to worry about soybeans as nematode. And we have a project with a master's students where we're purposely going and taking soil texture.

So we have a range of different texture, sandy to very heavy soils and everything in between. The sandy soil allows the the animal to move faster. And it does move in very, very short distance, right? It also creates more of additional abiotic interaction. So those soils will get dry faster, plants will stress faster, and you put that pathogen there and it cause more significant yield reduction.
