Soybean Cyst Survey to Begin (8/25/11)

In an effort to determine how widespread SCN is in North Dakota, NDSU plant pathology is collaborating with the National Agriculture Statistics Service (NASS) and the North Dakota Soybean Council (NDSC) to conduct a survey beginning next week. This is the second year of this survey.

NASS enumerators will soil sample for SCN in approximately 120 soybean fields throughout the state.  The soil will be processed at the plant diagnostic lab at NDSU, and the data will be presented at winter meetings.  Only county wide data will be presented.  The 2010 survey, and the associated sample submission received (and permission granted) was the reason that Barnes, LaMoure, and Ransom counties are known to have SCN.  Thank you for your help.
