Soybeans are hosts to a number of pests and pathogens. Of those numerous pathogens, the parasitic nematodes represent the major, ubiquitous, dominant and persistent problem for its cultivation, worldwide. Remarkably, soybeans are hosts to over 100 species of nematodes (reviewed in Sinclair and Backman, 1989). However, the most devastating pathogen of soybean is the soybean cyst nematode, Heterodera glycines. Heterodera glycines were first observed on soybean in Japan in 1881 (reviewed in Schmitt and Noel, 1984). The first scientific description of H. glycines was published in 1952 (Ichinohe, 1952). Up until this time there were no records of H. glycines in the New World. The combination of the growing agronomic status of soybean, the lack of agricultural practices to prevent the spread of any parasitic nematode and the biology of H. glycines set the stage for their rapid dispersal. Heterodera glycines were first identified in the U.S. in 1954 in North Carolina (Winstead et al. 1955). By 1957, H. glycines had been identified as far west as the state of Mississippi (reviewed in Riggs, 2004). Now H. glycines are nearly ubiquitous, found worldwide in 93.5% of the total acreage where soybean is cultivated (reviewed in Riggs 2004). In the U.S., reports rank H. glycines infection as causing more agronomic loss of soybean production than the rest of its pathogens combined (Wrather et al. 2006). H. glycines infection, itself, causes more damage to soybeans in the U.S. (~1.5 billion $) than the entire value of some agricultural crops. These facts demonstrate the significant drain that H. glycines have on soybean production.
