Management of nematodes, reniform and root-knot, is an important step to reduce yield losses attributed to nematode feeding.  Telone II, a fumigant/nematicide, provides control of nematodes where applied.  Site-specific nematicide applications are most important since the product works best when applied in situations where above threshold nematode numbers reduce cotton yields in continuously cropped cotton situations.
