Soybean cyst nematode (SCN) can drastically reduce yields in soybeans without displaying any above-ground symptoms. When unexplained yield loss occurs, it's highly recommend that producers consider sampling for Soybean Cyst Nematode. In this episode, we speak with Dr. Dylan Mangel, a soybean extension plant pathologist with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, about this pest, how to sample, and best practices for managing SCN if it's present.
