Rotylenchulus reniformis in cotton: current methods of management and the future of site-specific management
Nematropica 42 (2), 227-236
Abstract: The reniform nematode, Rotylenchulus reniformis, is currently one of the most limiting factors to cotton production in the United States. With no available commercial host plant resistance, options for management of R. reniformis are limited to the use of rotations with non-hosts and the use of nematicides, each of which varies greatly in cost-savings and effectiveness. Multiple research groups are currently pursuing the goal of site-specific management for R. reniformis in cotton. Site-specific application is used for a wide variety of agricultural practices, and successful programs for other species of nematodes in cotton, such as Meloidogyne incognita and Hoplolaimus columbus, are currently in use. Within this manuscript, future possibilities for the use of site-specific management for R. reniformis in cotton as well as potential limitations of current techniques are discussed.
