• By Michael Emerson, Travis Faske and Jesse Kelly • The southern root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita) is the most important yield-limiting plant-pathogenic nematode that affects soybean production in the mid-South. It is found in nearly all soybean-producing counties in Arkansas...

The Mississippi State University Extension Service is offering another year of free testing for often overlooked nematode pests that frequently cause poor crop performance. Soil-dwelling root-knot, reniform and soybean cyst nematodes are the most damaging nematode pests of Mississippi soybeans....

Test for soybean cyst nematode in the spring before planting, says University of Missouri Extension plant pathologist Kaitlyn Bissonnette. Data from MU researchers shows SCN field populations are becoming more virulent on commercial soybean cultivars, she says. SCN quickly began spreading...

A distinguished professor in University of Missouri's Division of Plant Sciences, Henry Nguyen’s longstanding research focus is related to abiotic stress tolerance and disease resistance in plants, primarily soybeans. Two United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food...
