Why is SCN Awareness Important?
Soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is the #1 hidden yield robber in soybeans.
It is the most destructive pest for soybeans, causing over $1 billion in losses each year.1 SCN is responsible for more yield loss than seedling diseases, sudden death syndrome (SDS), and white mold combined, with over 100 million bushels lost annually.2

When to Sample for SCN
Fall soil sampling is the most effective way to get a head start on planning. Collect samples from both non-host crop fields and soybean stubble. Additionally, you can take samples in the spring before planting soybeans and during the season in the soybean root zone.
