Missouri Soybean Merchandising Council
Top Things for Farmers to Know About Checkoff Dollars Invested in Research
Missouri Soybean Merchandising Council-funded projects answer questions and problems that are directly for the benefit of Missouri soybean farmers. Decisions regarding research projects are guided by Missouri soybean farmers.
- Soybean breeding and genetics for improved disease resistance, variety development, and environmental tolerances
- Improving soybean production through agronomic management
- Soybean cyst nematode resistance in soybean varieties
- Increasing demand for SOYLEIC® Soybeans
- Creating new uses that can build demand for soybean meal and oil
- Identifying best management practices for troublesome soybean pests
- Screening soybean varieties for SCN resistance
- Cover crop trials for soil health, education, and increased adoption
- Evaluating new technology for pest management in soybean
A breakthrough in soybean cyst nematode (SCN) resistance has been discovered by Missouri scientists. SCN remains the most damaging pest in U.S. soybean production, causing an estimated $1 billion in annual yield losses. This new discovery provides farmers with a powerful tool to combat SCN and helps preserve the effectiveness of existing resistance traits on the market.
