The performance of insecticides, nematicides, and fungicides applied to seed were compared to the performance of insecticides, nematicides, and fungicides applied in-furrow. A total of eight trials were planted in DP 444 BG/RR at 4 seed/row ft on multiple dates and in multiple locations. Seedling survival at two and four weeks after planting; thrip counts at three and six weeks after planting; reniform nematode populations at planting, midseason, and at harvest; and yield were collected for each trial. Reproductive factors for reniform populations were calculated for comparison. Results will show if seed treatments perform comparative to in-furrow applications of insecticides, nematicides, and fungicides.
