Soybean cyst nematode – nasty in its own right but also making other diseases and pests worse - Tylka Laboratory

The soybean cyst nematode (SCN), Heterodera glycines, is a small, plant-parasitic roundworm that attacks the roots of soybeans. It is considered the most destructive pathogen of soybean, causing incredible yield losses each year. Most plant-parasitic nematodes can be observed only with magnification, but the adult females and cysts of SCN are visible to the unaided eye.
