In our final panel of the day, we heard from farmers Chandra Langseth (ND) & John Freeman (AR). One of their major asks of the industry personnel gathered at the NSNC: Consistency in how nematode-resistant varieties are categorized. #NSNC #NSNC22 #SCN #RKN #Soybeans

The final panel discussion at #NSNC22 will be hosted by Aaron Putze with @IowaSoybeans. Panelists will look into the future and the likely challenges and opportunities it holds for managing parasitic nematodes. Sign up today: bit.ly/3PdsHWJ
Kathryn Bushley of ARSEF, @USDA_ARS, has screened hundreds of fungi for activity against #SCN. She will share her findings at #NSNC22. Sign up today! bit.ly/3PdsHWJ
Farmers have been using the same source of SCN resistance known as PI 88788 for decades and need new tools to combat parasitic nematodes. Pam Smith with @dtnpf will host a panel discussion at #NSNC22 on what the future has in store. Sign up today! bit.ly/3PdsHWJ
Ann MacGuidwin with @UWMadisonCALS will share her nearly four decades of experience researching root lesion nematodes at #NSNC22. Sign up today: bit.ly/3PdsHWJ
#SCN costs farmers more than $1.5 billion each year, a hit that Michael McCarville of BASF is all too familiar with. He’ll speak to #NSNC22 attendees about the economic impacts of SCN resistance now and in the future. Register today. bit.ly/3PdsHWJ
What does prescriptive nematode diagnostics look like in the future? @Willie1701A with Farm Progress will host a panel discussion on molecular tools at #NSNC22. Sign up today! bit.ly/3PdsHWJ
Defeating #SCN requires outside-the-box thinking. Enter Tarek Hewezi from @UTPlantSciences. He’s taking an epigenetic-based approach that examines how #soybean plants respond to parasitic nematodes. You can hear him speak at #NSNC22. Sign up today! bit.ly/3PdsHWJ
Molecular-level diagnostic studies provide promising avenues to tackling soybean cyst and root-lesion nematodes. Attend #NSNC22 to learn more about the research being conducted by @guipingyan. Sign up today! bit.ly/3PdsHWJ
Zenglu Li at @PBGGatUGA is focused on integrating classical breeding with new genomic technology, setting the stage for an exciting presentation on breeding #soybeans for multiple nematode resistance at #NSNC22. Sign up today: bit.ly/3PdsHWJ
