This project continued the proactive role of the Univerity of Manitoba and MPSG in knowing when SCN has arrived in the Province, outreach activities to inform growers about SCN and develop capacity within the province for future surveys and research to mitigate damage due to SCN after its arrival.
This research has confirmed for the first time the presence of the SCN in Manitoba. At this early stage of infestation, growers can start to manage the pest before it results in yield reductions.
More information on the communications of this project, and managing SCN is available here.
