Some SCN-Resistant Seed Not Acceptable?

However, checkoff-funded researchers are investigating new genetic resistance sources, as well as alternative SCN controls, such as biological control, bacterial pathogens, and agronomic inputs which would suppress SCN reproduction. Growers are also recommended to rotate their crops – they should rotate to a non-host crop, to SCN-resistant varieties, and then rotate those varieties.

SCN-resistant varieties can be compared at http://web.aces.uiuc.edu/vips, which reports the results of the University of Illinois’ SCN-resistance testing.
