Soil samples were analyzed by fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) analysis to ascertain the possibility of detecting Rotylenchulus reniformis in soil.  Two populations of cotton plants were grown in the greenhouse for 45 days.  One population was grown in autoclaved soil only; the second population was grown in autoclaved soil containing Rotylenchulus reniformis.
