This project involves developing specific management guidelines for growing soybeans on soils that were previously cropped to cotton and have high densities of root knot nematode. The research will develop field plots on root-knot nematode infested soybean production sites and determine:
-The effect of seed-applied nematicide on soybean production.
-Variety response to nematicide seed treatment.
-Soybean yield response to K fertilization; and
-Possible role of winter cover crops for managing sites with high nematode pressure.
