In the Southern United States, the type of nematode will be identified with soil test results. Varietal resistance is available for soybean cyst nematode (SCN), root knot nematode (RKN), and Columbia lance nematode. Resistance source should be matched to type of nematodes present.
Crop rotation to non-host species is a viable management option and should be applied whenever possible. Tillage has not been clearly identified as a management option.
