Performance Evaluation of LONREN and BARBREN Reniform Nematode Resistant Germplasm Lines

We report on the results of two studies. Field performance of LONREN 21-4 and BARBREN 713, both candidate reniform nematode resistant germplasm lines, was evaluated at three reniform-infested sites, located in Alabama, Louisiana and Texas. Physiological response to various reniform nematode inoculum levels, ranging from 0 to 50,000 nematode per 150cc of medium, was assessed in a greenhouse assay.
