Growers are encouraged to be on the lookout for soybean cyst nematode (SCN).
Iowa State University plant pathology professor Greg Tylka says adult SCN females should be visible on roots.
“This is a great time over the next four to six weeks to get out and dig roots, shake the soil off, and look for those little white SCN females.”
He says farmers can zig zag through fields, or target areas with low yields or weed patches.
