Site-Specific Management Strategies for Dealing with Multiple Nematode Pests

Many fields in the mid-South are having more problems with multiple species of nematodes such as the Southern root-knot and reniform nematode occurring within the same field. It is very likely that corn is a major contributor to this problem. Nematode distribution and damage potential can vary within a field based on soil texture and species. This paper will discuss the distribution of the root-knot nematode and reniform nematode together in a cotton field and the management strategies utilized to develop the proper treatment zones within the field.
