Reniform Nematode Reproduction on Soybean Cultivars and Breeding Lines In 2010

During 2010, 161 soybean varieties from the Arkansas variety testing program and 64 soybean Public breeding lines and varieties: 20 from Clemson (Shipe), 6 from Arkansas (Chen), 2 from the USDA Jackson TN (Arelli), 20 from Missouri (Shannon), and 16 from Virginia Tech (Rainey) were tested for reproduction of the reniform nematode. The lines that did not support more reproduction than the resistant checks may be useful in a Cotton-Soybean Rotation to reduce the numbers of reniform nematodes and allow cotton to be grown economically in infested fields.
