Heterodera glycines Ichinohe - Soybean Cyst Nematode

Over 1,100 species of plants are reported as potential hosts for the soybean cyst nematode. Many species merely allow the nematode to survive until a more susceptible host becomes available. Soybean, Glycine max, is the only major economic crop severely affected.
