The objective of this study was to assess the opportunity for cotton production in a field infested with Meloidogyne incognita where susceptible and partially resistant varieties were planted in plots either fumigated with Telone, planted with a nematode seed treatment or an in-furrow nematicide. The treatments were replicated four times. The field experiment was established in Colquitt County, Georgia in 2015 to evaluate the impact of the three nematode treatments on resistant and susceptible cotton varieties.
