A test was conducted in 1999 to examine the benefits of including Telone II for the management of the reniform nematode (Rotylenchulus reniformis). The test was located in Glen Allan, Mississippi in an established cotton production location. Reniform nematode population development was followed by sampling monthly. Treatments included Telone II applied at 1.5, 3.0 and 4.5 gallons per acre injected per-plant. Temik 15G was applied at 3.5 and 5.0 lb per acre in the seed furrow at planting and as a 5.0 lb per acre side-dress at 46 days after planting. Telone II significantly reduced reniform nematode populations during the growing season. Cotton plants in the Telone II treated plots were taller, had more open bolls and a greater plant weight than the Temik 15G treated plants and the untreated control. Seed cotton yields were significantly greater with the inclusion of Telone II for reniform nematode management.
