Reniform Nematode Reproduction on Soybean Cultivars and Breeding Lines In 2011

This presentation shows reproduction of the Reniform nematode on all soybean varieties new to the Arkansas Soybean Variety Testing Program in 2011 and soybean varieties and advanced breeding lines submitted by public soybean breeders. The Literature cited identifies reniform resistant soybean varieties tested in previous years. The intent of the presentation is to recognize soybean varieties that would be useful in rotation with cotton. They would reduce reniform nematode numbers and offer an economic crop to rotate with cotton. Cotton at present has no resistance to this nematode and yields can be significantly reduced by the reniform nematode
