Jared WhiteHOST
Brown says he's expecting farmers to use recent government payments to improve liquidity, secure operating loans, purchase equipment, grain bins, and other infrastructure.
Jared WhiteHOST
A new breakthrough in the battle against soybean cyst nematode.
Jared WhiteHOST
Brownfield's Kellen Havikin has more.
Kellen HavikinCORRESPONDENT
Northwest Iowa farmer Michael Gallagher says the industry's first seed trait provides a much-needed tool to help manage the pest.
Justin MoritzGUEST
Yeah, so Nemosphere is a first of its kind BT trait solution that we're going to bring to the market in a stack with Enlist E3.
Justin MoritzGUEST
So Enlist E3 and Nemosphere will bring a new BT trait, a cry protein, cry 14 AB, to be able to control SCN.
Justin MoritzGUEST
That's a brand new mode of action The first new mode of action that we've had from a trade perspective to be able to control SCN in over 60 years.
Justin MoritzGUEST
It's also going to bring a new herbicide mode of action.
Justin MoritzGUEST
As that stack, growers will know the Enlist E3 that they're using today.
Justin MoritzGUEST
And then the third piece that I think is probably the most exciting piece is how Those two independently are both really, really, the first two pieces of what we talked about are really good.
Justin MoritzGUEST
But the third piece is untapped yield potential.
Justin MoritzGUEST
And so as I think about setting up a system for success and yield and soybeans, we've got to put all those pieces together to be able to create that maximum potential and being able to control SCN, the number one yield robbing pest in a brand new way, and then be able to fight weeds, maybe mitigate any kind of carryover scenario and variable weather environments from HPPDs.
Zach HeftyHOST
Hey, flipping a little bit over to maybe early season, Matthew.
Zach HeftyHOST
Um, one of the things that I heard about, and I want to, I want to hear your thoughts on it too, uh, with SCN.
Zach HeftyHOST
So with nematodes, obviously that's not a disease, but those getting into the plant early, them being around, uh, can maybe cause other issues like maybe opening up the plant for more disease.
Zach HeftyHOST
Is that something that you're seeing as well, like maybe a pest or an insect, um, kind of opening up, weakening the plant, and then more disease comes in later?
Matthew JenkinsGUEST
Yeah.
Matthew JenkinsGUEST
I mean, certainly one thing with SCN, we can see SDS, uh, increase.
Matthew JenkinsGUEST
But anytime we have that plant more susceptible to...
Matthew JenkinsGUEST
You know, or excuse me, not, uh, you know, dealing with especially early season stressors, that's just gonna make it harder on that plant, uh, to fight off other pathogens that show up later in the year.
Casey SchleusnerGUEST
Yep.
Jesse AllenHOST
And so let's talk about that a little bit, because why should ag retailers a- and farmers and agronomists be paying more and more attention to SCN in their fields?
Casey SchleusnerGUEST
fields?Yeah, so at the end of the day, you know, it's one of the diseases, or, um, I would say one of the pests that we fight, not necessarily a disease, but the pest that we fight in soybeans is soybean cyst nematode, and it's the silent, uh, killer or yield robber, um, is what we, uh, call it here in the industry is, you know, it allows...
Casey SchleusnerGUEST
You know, in Brevant we have the largest portfolio of Peking soybeans, which allows you to switch up that mode of action towards, uh, soybean cyst nematode.
Casey SchleusnerGUEST
It's not like sudden death, where it shows up and you can physically or visually see it in the field.
Casey SchleusnerGUEST
So, um, that's just one of those things that, you know, at Brevant, we're, uh, striving to bring the right genetics to help growers on all sorts of disease and pest, and that's one of them that, you know, we're definitely focusing in on going forward.
Jesse AllenHOST
And you mentioned it, with SCN, I mean, it is such a yield robber, and a lot of times-
Casey SchleusnerGUEST
Mm
Dusty SonnenbergCORRESPONDENT
He is with BASF.
Dusty SonnenbergCORRESPONDENT
We've been talking about soybean cyst nematode and a new technology out there that's coming online very soon, Nemisphere.
Dusty SonnenbergCORRESPONDENT
Reporting for the Ohio AgNet, I'm Dusty Sonnenberg.
Dusty SonnenbergCORRESPONDENT
Hey, thanks, Dusty.
Justin MoritzGUEST
Uh, just like many growers have experienced using Cry proteins in other crops, this is, uh, Cry14Ab.
Justin MoritzGUEST
Uh, so for the first time, we're bringing that Cry protein to soybeans, uh, to really change the game in SCN control.
Justin MoritzGUEST
And, and so what will this mean for growers? Well, the key thing is, is that what we've had in the past have been the native traits, and they're basically a single mode of action, and now bringing a new, novel, differentiated mode of action.
Justin MoritzGUEST
We're gonna have two, uh, completely different modes of action, uh, that'll both be in the fight against, uh, SCN, and we'll be able to really manage this pest in a season-long approach, uh, and unlock that full potential of germplasm, uh, as we look forward to what that means, uh, for growers.
Darren HeftyHOST
Yeah, I'm excited about this in terms of SCN protection, 'cause you mentioned these native traits, and, uh, obviously the PI88788 is uh, not working the way that it used to work, but it's still working somewhat.
Darren HeftyHOST
And stacking that or Peking onto a Bt for SCN control, I, I like it.
Darren HeftyHOST
It's a nice one-two punch.
Darren HeftyHOST
You could even add a seed treatment on there like a Levo or, or others and, and add a third mode of action.
DeLoss JahnkeHOST
Are we gonna be, uh, hitting dew points for the better part of the week? Today, October 5, is National Nematode Day or Nematode Day, depending on your preference.
DeLoss JahnkeHOST
It is an event from the SCN Coalition, making October 5 the National Nematode Day to raise awareness of soybean cyst nematode, number one yield grabbing pathogen of the North American soybean crop.
DeLoss JahnkeHOST
Drives you to the website, the scncoalition.com/nematode-day.
DeLoss JahnkeHOST
And you get to learn more about it with a chance to win up to $100.
DeLoss JahnkeHOST
Weekly quizzes help to educate about plant parasitic nematodes and their significance to soybean production.
DeLoss JahnkeHOST
For example, you learn that a single cyst, an SCN cyst can contain about 250 to 500 eggs.
DeLoss JahnkeHOST
The method to most reliably know whether or not it's present in a field is through an SCN soil test.
DeLoss JahnkeHOST
And under ideal conditions, how many generations of SCN can occur during a single growing season? The answer is up to six.
Horacio Lopez-NicoraGUEST
Taylor, any other thoughts?
Taylor DillGUEST
Well, I was just thinking for SCN sampling, that maybe as you're going through your field, if you see on your monitor a marked low spot where you don't normally see one or maybe it's getting worse and worse, that might be a good thing to mark in your head to come back and sample.
Taylor DillGUEST
So you can kind of understand those
Horacio Lopez-NicoraGUEST
really
Horacio Lopez-NicoraGUEST
That's a place where normally we will find it.
Horacio Lopez-NicoraGUEST
So entryways, for example, slopes where just naturally the soil is moved by water movement.
Horacio Lopez-NicoraGUEST
those low yielding spot for some reason I did everything but still I low so yield in that area that could be as SCN for sure the path these pathogens interact I mean we have fields and it's not that we have only one pathogen there's multiple pathogens so areas that we see a lot of SDS sudden death syndrome normally can can show more severe symptoms when we have SCN soybean cyst nematode So maybe if you see a lot of SDS in that side of the field, maybe that can be another telltale to go and sample for SCN.
Taylor DillGUEST
Is that the same if you have a foliar disease or is there no interaction there?
