Brief Project Summary:

In Arkansas and other areas of the Mid-South, the southern root-knot nematode decimates soybeans. It is the number one plant-parasitic nematode in Arkansas. It can cause dead spots in soybean fields with 50 to 100% yield reduction. This ongoing research identifies management options to help soybean farmers fight southern root-knot and other nematode problems. It evaluates seed-applied nematicides, biologicals, soybean cultivars and combinations of these options. Results help farmers decide how to manage fields with known southern root-knot nematode pressure.
