Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: Rotylenchulus reniformis, the reniform nematode, can be a severe yield reducer in fields where populations are greater than the economic threshold. Effects of this pest are observed throughout the cotton growing areas of the southern United States. Field trials were established in 2022 at the Delta Research and Extension Center in Stoneville, MS to determine the benefits of commercially available resistant cultivars and USDA developed cotton breeding lines in managing the reniform nematode.
