Summary

​Soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is considered the number one yield robbing pathogen on soybeans and is present in all major soybean growing regions. Historically, varietal resistance has been the primary control of SCN, but in recent years newly developed seed treatments can offer additional protection. In a joint project, Iowa State University (ISU) and the Iowa Soybean Association On-Farm Network®​ evaluated Clariva seed applied nematicide on its effectiveness against SCN. In 24 trials across Iowa, Clariva averaged a 0.6 bu/A yield response and in ISU experiments significantly reduced SCN reproduction. Based on this research, Clariva could be an option for farmers to help control SCN. Complete results will be shared in this presentation.

About the Presenter

Tristan MuellerTristan Mueller earned his MS in crop science from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana and his BS in biology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. As the Iowa Soybean Association (ISA) On-Farm Network operations manager, he is responsible for implementing and coordinating On-Farm Network agronomic programs in Iowa, including replicated strip trials and guided stalk nitrate testing. He is also the lead agronomist responsible for ISA collaboration with Iowa State University on several projects. Prior to joining ISA in 2012, Mueller was a station scientist with Bayer CropScience research farms in Redfield, Iowa, and Champaign, Illinois. He managed 75–100 research trials per year to help develop insecticide, fungicide, and nematicide seed treatments.​
