Soybean Cyst Nematode Threat Noted In Scott County
Scott County agents warn that the soybean cyst nematode found in southeast Missouri could threaten Missouri bean acreage. Surveys by state and federal agriculture departments note the pest has a long history in Asia and now risks spreading via soil movement and farming equipment. Recommendations include rotating land unused for beans, lespedera, or vetch for three to four years, and avoiding soil sampling in infested fields. The article also covers the 23rd annual Scott County Soils and Crops Conference set for January 29 in Benton with focus on balanced farming and non allotted crop acreage.
