Yield Loss of Cotton Cultivars Due to the Reniform Nematode and the Added Benefit of Velum Total

Cotton varieties were evaluated in north Alabama for their response to reniform nematodes, and south Alabama for their response to root-knot nematodes.  Trials were conducted in both infested and noninfested fields, and planted as a randomized complete block design.  Plots were set up as a split plot, with two rows having a treatment of Velum Total, and two rows being left untreated.  Plants were sampled at 30 days after planting for plant parameters and nematode counts, and yield data is currently being collected and compiled for analysis.
