Are soybean cyst nematodes cutting into your soybean yields? Wondering how to protect your crop without disrupting your no-till system?
Join No-Till Farmer senior editor John Dobberstein with Indigo Agon Monday, January 12, at 10 a.m., for a live product demo, "Managing Soybean Cyst Nematodes to Maximize Yield – Block the Hatch," where experts will discuss strategies for managing soybean cyst nematodes using the latest biological solutions.
Soybean cyst nematodes are the most damaging pathogen for soybeans in the U.S. and Canada, capable of reducing yields by 20 or more bushels per acre.
New biopesticides like Indigo’s biotrinsic® Nemora™ offer targeted protection by blocking nematode egg hatch, supporting healthier plants and higher yields.
In this live event, Dr. Greg Tylka from Iowa State University and Dr. David Hubert from Indigo Ag will share their expertise on identifying SCN problems and integrating bionematicides into your pest management plan.
If you want to protect your crop and maximize your yield potential with a strategy designed for no-till farmers, this is one conversation you won’t want to miss.
Dr. David Hubert received his PhD from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. His PhD research focused on the genetic pathways that allow plants to recognize pathogens and mount an effective immune response. After earning his PhD, David began working on discovering and evaluating new products for farmers, initially on identifying novel traits to improve crop genetics. David set up and led a team focused on developing novel methods to measure trait performance across pathogen stress, environmental stress, and herbicide resistance traits in both controlled environments and under field conditions. Next, David shifted his research interests to biological control of plant pathogens, which led to his joining Indigo Ag in 2019. Dr. Hubert is currently the Director of Plant Microbe Interactions at Indigo, leading a team of researchers at our Research Triangle Park, NC location, discovering and characterizing beneficial microbes in controlled environment conditions. This research covers microbes responsible for improved nutrient use efficiency, protection from soilborne fungal pathogens, and nematodes.
Dr. Gregory Tylka
Professor, Iowa State University
Greg Tylka earned a PhD in plant pathology studying the soybean cyst nematode (SCN) at the University of Georgia, after which he joined the faculty at Iowa State University in 1990. Tylka has research and Extension responsibilities on the biology and management of plant-parasitic nematodes, primarily working with SCN. In the mid 2010s, Tylka's summary of results of resistant variety evaluation field experiments illustrated the steady loss of effectiveness of widely used PI 88788 SCN resistance in Iowa beginning in 2001. These research results served asthe rationale for organizing and launching the public-private partnership known as the SCN Coalition.
