EVALUATION OF ALTERNATIVE WEED HOSTS AND MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES FOR SOYBEAN CYST NEMATODE IN SOUTH DAKOTA BY PAWAN BASNET A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment for the requirements for the Master of Science Major in Plant Science South Dakota State University 2018 i iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis dissertation is an important landmark in my academic career at South Dakota State University. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my advisor, Dr. Emmanuel Byamukama for believing in me and also for his support, patience, and care during my research. I appreciate his insightful advice and guidance which has inculcated the qualities of a researcher within me. I also owe my appreciation to my advisory committee members Dr. Sharon Clay, Dr. Shaukat Ali, Dr. Senthil Subramanian and graduate school representative Dr. Suzette Burckhard for their valuable suggestions, feedback, and advice which has strengthened my work and has assisted me in achieving this accomplishment. I am heartily grateful to South Dakota Soybean Research and Promotional Council for funding this project. I am also indebted to valuable academic and moral support from Dr. Gary Hatfield, Dr. Dalitso Yabwalo, Dr. Febina Mathew, and Dr. Marie Langham. My deepest gratitude to Richard Geppert who helped me in weed sample collection and connecting me to the soybean growers in various counties of South Dakota. He also has provided his endless support for water bath setup, greenhouse activities and troubleshooting of common issues at the greenhouse and at the laboratory. I owe special thanks to Connie Tande for providing me a good training in the field of SCN and lab regulations. I acknowledge the institutional support throughout my research and course-taking during my master’s program. I express my gratitude to all my professors and colleagues in the iv Department of Agronomy, Horticulture and Plant Science for the support. It would be a lot more difficult to complete this work within the stipulated time without the support of former and current lab members Dr. Rawnaq Chowdhury, Krishna Acharya, Collins Bugingo and Paul Okello (Dr. Mathew’s Lab). Special thank goes to my family, friends, and relatives back in my beautiful country, Nepal, for their unceasing love, encouragement and moral support. I am heartily grateful to my parents for their sacrifices in raising me through penury, inculcating moral and humane values and helping me able to stand at this point in my academic career pursuits. I am also thankful to my friends at South Dakota State University for emotional support during my difficult situations. Finally, I would like to express my deepest appreciation to all the people associated directly and indirectly in my research and academic pursuits. v TABLE OF CONTENTS ABBREVIATIONS ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- viii LIST OF TABLES ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ix ABSTRACT-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- xi 1 Chapter 1: Literature review ---------------------------------------------------------------- 1 1.1.
