Root-knot and Reniform Nematodes Associated With Cotton Production in Misssissippi

G.W. Lawrence, K.S. McLean and G. Hankins


 
ABSTRACT

Tests were conducted in 1996 to examine the benefits of including Temik 15G and Vydate C-LV for the management of the root-knot (Meloidogyne incognita) and reniform nematode (Rotylenchulus reniformis) in a cotton production system. Nematode population development was followed by sampling plots monthly. Treatments included Temik 15G applied at 5.0 and 7.0 lb per acre in the seed furrow. Vydate C-LV was applied as a foliar spray at pin-head square and 14 days in combination with Temik 15G at 3.5 lb per acre in the seed furrow. Cotton plots grown in the treated plots produced more bolls per plant with a greater total boll weight. Fruiting position of the first cotton boll was produced on a lower node in the nematicide treated plots. Vydate C-LV applied as a foliar spray in combination with Temik 15 G improved cotton yields over Temik 15G applied at the same rate alone.
