Farmers and ag professionals can learn how to identify and manage soybean cyst nematode (SCN) at a UNL Extension field day this Thursday (Sept. 4) near Bassett.
Last year, soybean cyst nematodes cost Nebraska soybean growers over $45 million, more than all other soybean diseases combined. If you have SCN in your fields and are not managing it, you contributed to that loss.
The 16th annual Soybean Management Field Days will focus on increasing profits, staying competitive in a global marketplace, and meeting the world's growing food and energy needs starting right here in Nebraska.
We are receiving reports of stink bugs in Nebraska corn and soybean. This is to be expected, as stink bugs are attracted to flowering plants. Both crops are particularly sensitive to stink bugs during the reproductive stage.
