High yielding cotton varieties will be selected to determine the real yield reduction due to the reniform nematodes. Cotton varieties will be treated with a nematicide or no nematicide will be added.  The presence of the nematode reduced cotton plant growth by 60%.  The nemticide reduced reniform populations densities by 40%.  Yields will be collected soon.
