Evaluating the Efficacy of Fluopyram Seed Treatments and in-Furrow Nematicide Applications for Managing Reniform Nematode (Rotylenchulus reniformis) from 2016-2019 in North Florida

Reniform nematode (Rotylenchulus reniformis) is a major yield-robber throughout the Southeast.  Nematicide application, along with crop rotation, is a major strategy for managing this nematode.  In particularly, the nematicide fluopyram is formulated for seed treatment or in-furrow liquid application.  Fluopyram has been available since 2015 in cotton, so a substantial amount of research on its efficacy has been built up.  This presentation will summarize the efficacy of fluopyram as a seed treatment and in-furrow nematicide for managing reniform nematode across 4 years of replicated field trials in North Florida.
