Introduction
Use of resistant soybean varieties is a very effective strategy for managing soybean cyst nematode (SCN), and numerous SCN-resistant soybean varieties are available for Iowa soybean farmers. Each year, public and private SCN-resistant soybean varieties are evaluated in SCN-infested fields throughout Iowa by Iowa State University personnel. The research described in this report was performed to assess the agronomic performance of maturity group (MG) I, II, and III SCN-resistant soybean varieties and to determine the effects of the varieties on SCN numbers or population densities.
Materials and Methods
In the northern Iowa district, 51 glyphosate-resistant, SCN-resistant soybean varieties were evaluated using Roundup® herbicide, and 11 non-glyphosate-resistant (six LibertyLink® and five conventional), SCN-resistant soybean varieties were evaluated using conventional herbicides. The northern Iowa experiments were conducted near Newell (northwest Iowa), Manly (north central Iowa), and Lawler (northeast Iowa). In the central Iowa district, 51 glyphosate-resistant, SCN-resistant soybean varieties were evaluated using Roundup® herbicide and 13 non-glyphosate-resistant (eight LibertyLink® and five conventional), SCN-resistant soybean varieties were evaluated using conventional herbicides. The central Iowa experiments were conducted near Moorhead (west central Iowa), Ames (central Iowa), and Urbana (east central Iowa). In the southern Iowa district, 51 glyphosate-resistant, SCN-resistant soybean varieties were evaluated using Roundup® herbicide and ten non-glyphosate-resistant (eight LibertyLink® and two conventional), SCN-resistant soybean varieties were evaluated using conventional herbicides. The southern Iowa experiments were conducted near Glenwood (southwest Iowa), Oskaloosa (south central Iowa), and Fruitland (southeast Iowa).
Location-specific details.
1 In the SCN HG type test results, “2” indicates >10% reproduction on PI 88788, “5” indicates >10% reproduction on PI 209332, and “7” indicates >10% reproduction on PI 548316.
SCN-susceptible varieties also were planted in the experiments for comparison purposes. All plots were four 17-foot-long rows spaced 30 inches apart and were planted at 10 seeds per foot, with four replications per variety. Seed companies were encourage to treat their seed with fungicide and insecticide. Seeds that were received untreated were treated with CruiserMaxx® by Iowa State University personnel. A complete treatment list is included at the end of the report. Preplant herbicide was applied to each location. The Lawler location was planted using “no-till” methods, and both the Fruitland and Moorhead locations were minimally tilled. At all other locations, the seed bed was tilled prior to planting. At growth stage R6 all locations were scouted for Sudden Death Syndrome (SDS). The Oskaloosa site was found to have SDS so the plots were rated for the disease using the Southern Illinois University method of SDS scoring (0 = no disease, 100 = all plants prematurely dead). Further details of this rating technique may be found at www.scnresearch.info/462.pdf. All plots were end trimmed to a length of 14 feet during September. Maturity notes were taken at one location in each district, but for reference purposes, maturity dates are listed in the tables for all three locations in the same district. Maturity was recorded as the number of days after August 31st that a variety was considered mature. A variety was considered mature when 95 percent of the pods had turned brown. For all locations, just prior to harvest, average plant height and lodging (1 = all plants fully erect, 5 = all plants flat) were assessed in each plot. For each location, the center two rows of each four-row plot were harvested with a plot combine, total seed weight per plot and seed moisture were determined, and total plot seed weights subsequently were converted to bushels per acre. Resistant varieties and susceptible check varieties are grouped separately and are listed in the report in order of descending yield.
At the beginning of the growing season, plots were sampled for the presence of SCN. Soil samples, consisting of 10 one-inch-diameter, six- to eight-inch-deep soil cores were collected from the center 14 feet of the center two rows of each plot immediately after planting. SCN cysts were extracted from each soil sample, and SCN eggs were extracted from the cysts and counted. SCN egg population densities also were determined for each plot at the end of the growing season in an identical manner. Because of the consistent relationship between higher soil pH and SCN population densities, all varieties also were field tested for tolerance to iron deficiency chlorosis (IDC). Each variety was planted in a hill plot consisting of five seeds per hill, with four replications per variety, at two high pH field locations. Notes were taken for IDC symptoms at each location approximately four weeks after planting and again at five weeks after planting. Varieties were rated on a scale of “1” to “5” with a “1” indicating no symptoms of IDC present and a “5” indicating plant death due to IDC. The scores from each location were averaged together and an overall rating was assigned to each variety. One variety highly resistant to IDC and one variety susceptible to IDC also were included in the experiments as checks. The highly resistant variety scored an average of 1.6 and the susceptible variety scored an average of 2.9. The scores from these IDC field tests are listed in each location table in the report for reference.

Data Presentation
In the report, soybean yield and SCN reproduction are displayed graphically in addition to in the tables. In the graphs, yield is represented by the length of the gray bars. SCN reproduction is represented by the length of the blue section of the bars. SCN reproduction was calculated by determining the reproductive factor (RF) for each variety. RF is calculated by dividing the average final SCN population density by the average initial SCN population density for each variety. What this means is that if a variety has an RF value of 5.0, the SCN population density for those plots was 5 times greater at harvest than it was at planting. Conversely, an RF value of 0.5 means the SCN population density for those plots at harvest was one half the population density at planting. It is important to remember that this number is location specific and may vary substantially under different environmental conditions, soil types, and nematode populations.
Summary
The results of the experiments illustrate the benefits of growing SCN-resistant soybean varieties for management of this important soybean pest. At locations with the most significant SCN reproduction, many of the soybean varieties with SCN resistance had greater yields than susceptible varieties, although some resistant varieties had greater yields than others. At most locations, end-of-season SCN population densities were significantly greater in plots where susceptible varieties were grown relative to plots planted with resistant varieties. Nematode control is an extremely important aspect of growing SCN-resistant soybean varieties that must be considered when selecting soybean varieties. Growing soybean varieties in SCN-infested fields in an attempt to maximize soybean yields in the short term without any consideration of the effect of the varieties on SCN population densities will seriously reduce the long-term soybean productivity of the land.
The results of these experiments illustrate that SCN-resistant varieties can suppress SCN reproduction and provide increased soybean yields relative to using susceptible varieties. Currently, there are three main genetic sources for SCN resistance genes in commercial soybean varieties, namely PI 88788, Peking, and PI 437654 (also known as Hartwig). Each of these sources of SCN resistance contains several genes that confer resistance to the nematode. Consequently, soybean varieties developed from the various sources of resistance may not all contain the same genes in the same combinations. All of these sources of SCN resistance allow some limited reproduction of soybean cyst nematodes. Resistant varieties must be used in an integrated management program, along with the use of nonhost crops and scouting for early detection of SCN, to maximize yields and minimize reproduction of the pest on a long-term basis.
The data presented in this report are from a limited number of locations and should be used only as a beginning point for developing a SCN management program for any specific field. Performance of individual SCN-resistant soybean varieties in SCN-infested fields will vary among locations and years. Growers are encouraged to evaluate several SCN-resistant soybean varieties at their own locations to determine the best varieties for their local conditions.
