Southern root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita, have become a serious problem for many southwest Georgia farmers, especially in the deep sandy (Lucy sandy loam) soils that are predominate in the area. Crop rotation is important in suppressing southern root-knot nematodes, but may not always be possible or practical. A few cotton varieties grown in southwest Georgia are tolerant to southern root-knot nematode, but under heavy populations yields can still be severe. Chemical control would then be the only alternative to prevent economical yield losses due to southern root-knot nematode.
