The information form did not provide complete cropping history. The sample indicates the presence of soybean cyst nematodes. If it has been two or more years since soybeans or snap beans were grown in the field, then these nematodes are not likely to damage next year's soybean crop. However, if these crops have been grown within the last two years, damage may be severe. Managing the Columbia Lance Nematode Soil type affects damage by the Columbia lance nematode.
Damage is most severe on sandy soils.
The information in Table 1 can be used to predict the likelihood of damage by lance nematodes. Soybean varieties that are tolerant to Columbia lance nematodes are included in Table 2. It is important to remember that tolerant varieties are not resistant. A tolerant variety will yield more than a susceptible one at low to moderate nematode populations but can be severely damaged if nematode populations are high. Tolerant varieties, however, neither prevent nor limit nematode reproduction and development.
