Two studies were conducted in Morehouse Parish, Louisiana to evaluate the effects of Avicta, Aeris, and Kapam on reniform and root-knot nematodes in cotton. Nematode populations were assessed at planting and mid-season. The impact on plant development was monitored by recording plant height at mid-season. Treatment yields and final nematode populations will also be recorded.
