Quick Guide to Soybean Varieties for Iowa with Peking SCN Resistance

By Dr. Greg Tylka 

A recent ICM News article summarized the updated list of soybean cyst nematode-resistant soybean varieties for Iowa, available online here. The publication contains information on 866 SCN-resistant soybean varieties and 5 blends available for use in Iowa for 2024. The list includes 87 varieties with Peking SCN resistance. Varieties with Peking SCN resistance can provide better SCN control and increased yields in fields where varieties with PI 88788 resistance were grown for decades. The tables below provide a quick look of varieties with Peking SCN resistance.

Consult the ISU Extension publication here for information about the herbicide resistance and iron deficiency chlorosis tolerance of the varieties.

The information above and in the ISU Extension publication was provided by the seed companies offering the varieties for sale. Variety availability changes from year to year, so an annually updated list is most helpful.

Accuracy in testing for DON

Video: Accuracy in testing for DON

Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a mycotoxin naturally produced by the fungus that causes Gibberella ear rot in corn. Infection occurs through the corn silk channel when ideal temperatures (approx. 27°C) and higher humidity are present. Cool wet conditions after pollination favour continual disease development and determines the level of infection. Effective sampling, detection, and quantification of DON are challenging due to its uneven distribution on the ear as well as its presence across the field, resulting in infected and non-infected kernels in the same grain sample.
