nematode is likely to show up in
Helds where soybeans have been
grown for more than two years. He
encourages Delaware growers to
identify infestations before
planting.
“This pest,” says Mulrooney,
“can reduce a crop of susceptible
soybeans by 33 percent or more,
depending on the season.”
To test for the soybean cyst
nematode, farmers should take
samples of no more than Hve acres.
Each sample should be a compo
site of 20 soil cores. A Cooperative
Extension fact sheet, “How To
Take Soil Samples for Nematode
Detection,” is available free from
county Extension offices in Dela
ware. Four or five samples per
field should be submitted. Grow
ers can take the samples to their
Extension office for analysis.
