Top Areas of Research Critical to the Future of Missouri's Soybean Production
  • 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
Recent Innovative Research Projects
  • 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 Success Story as a Result of Research

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.
