Summary
Soybean nematodes remain a major and often underdiagnosed source of yield loss, especially in fields with heavy Root-Knot Nematode pressure. In this episode, Matt Miles discusses the scale of the problem in Arkansas, the limits and costs of traditional nematicides, and why he is now applying Averland FC in-furrow on all at-risk soybean acres after using it on corn and soybeans the past two years. Speaking with Damian Mason and Vive Crop Protection’s George Huckabee, Miles explains that even with mitigation, severe infestations can still cost 5 to 7 bushels per acre, while unmanaged pressure can cut yields dramatically.
