We kicked off our 2026 test plot season with a look at GROWMARK, Inc. FS Amplivo NemaSoy (formerly Nemora from Indiago) in a high-SCN pressure soybean field. NemaSoy is a planter box biological nematicide that is supposed to help stop SCN eggs from hatching, build stronger roots, and improve soil health. All of which should help add yield to a soybean crop.
For this trial, we compared Pioneer P26Z94PE with and without NemaSoy at planting to see what kind of yield response we could get under these high stress conditions. Looking at the yield of these test strips, you can get an idea of how light, sandy, and droughty the soil was where we planted this trial; paired with the high SCN numbers, we really put this product to the test.
The NemaSoy treatment averaged +1.1 bu/ac over the untreated check. At a $12.50 soybean price and a $7/acre product cost, that worked out to roughly $6.75/acre ROI based on the trial results.
This is the first year we have tried this product on our farm. The details weren't quite as drastic as we thought they might be, but we may run another year of trial work with NemaSoy on more acres and soil types to see if there are any different results before making a decision on whether to implement any further in our operation.
