Coming in 2028: Nemasphere™ Nematode Resistance Trait*

Contributing to an estimated $1.5 billion** in economic losses each year, soybean cyst nematodes (SCN) are the #1 yield-robbing pest in soybeans.1 Luckily, Nemasphere nematode resistance trait is the biggest innovation in SCN management in over 60 years.

      

A revolution in SCN management

SCN is outsmarting many of today’s native traits, leaving fields vulnerable to costly damage. Nemasphere nematode resistance trait is bringing the first and only biotechnology solution to soybean farmers, completely rewriting the SCN management playbook.

      

There’s more yield right under your feet

Beat SCN and expectations

Nemasphere nematode resistance trait by BASF delivers effective SCN protection, while giving farmers the chance at higher yield potentials. 

Groundbreaking innovation

With a completely novel mode of action, Nemasphere nematode resistance trait is the first and only biotechnology trait for SCN.

Resistance is on the rise

The effectiveness of native traits is declining significantly, with an average 40% of SCN resisting and surviving.2
