Growth and Development of Five Upland Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) Varieties in Reniform (Rotylenchulus reniformis) Infested Soils

Five cotton varieties treated with Aeries/Votivo were evaluated in the field at two locations (Mississippi State University- R.R. Foil Plant Research Center and Auburn University -Tennessee Valley Research Center ) and in the greenhouse (Mississippi State University) to determine their growth response and yield potential in soils heavily infested with the reniform nematode (Rotylenchulus reniformis). Plant mapping processes were used to evaluate the season long performance in the field studies. Nematode population development and plant growth parameters were evaluated in the greenhouse studies.
