Tackling a challenging soybean pest

Do you have a soybean field that for some reason never quite yields as you like? Or do you have yellowing patches across your soybean fields where you’re getting a definite yield loss? Both can be the result of infestations of soybean cyst nematode, an insidious pest that once present is hard to beat.

Recently, Pioneer released information from a survey of 600 farmers, and the company also conducted field sampling research for the pest. To get a better idea of what they found, Farm Progress talked with Mary Gumz, agronomy science manager, at Pioneer to learn more.

During this podcast discussion, Gumz offers insight into resistance management, tactics to push down populations and how new tools can help farmers preserve and improve yields.
