Abstract

The use of resistant soybean varieties is a very effective strategy for managing soybean cyst nematode (SCN), and numerous SCN-resistant soybean varieties are available for Iowa soybean growers. Each year, Iowa State University personnel evaluate public and private SCNresistant soybean varieties in SCN-infested fields throughout Iowa. The research described in this report was performed to assess the agronomic performance of maturity group (MG) I and II SCN-resistant soybean varieties and to determine the effects of the varieties on SCN population densities.
