Treatment of herbicides (Treflan and Lorox) and nematicides (Nemacur and Temik) and various combinations of these pesticides on Essex and Ransom in the field to control weeds and soybean cyst nematode (SCN) have produced significantly more abnormal seedling establishment, more number of pods and nodules per plant, and lesser field population of SCN. The differences in performance of Essex and Ransom with respect to SCN control with corresponding yield increases or decreases from pesticide treatments may have been due to the cultivar's different degree of susceptibility to SCN infestations and to their specific genetic make‐up. The recommended nematicides for the control of SCN with corresponding yield increases in Essex were Temik and Nemacur and the recommended nematicide‐herbicide combinations were Temik‐Treflan and Temik‐Lorox. The recommended nematicide for the control of SCN in cultivar Ransom was Temik. Bean yields were not affected by the application of pesticides.
