| | Nematicide on Cotton Growth and Yield (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) |
 | | It is concluded that a well chosen, single rate application (based on several soil samples taken in the fall of the previous year) will yield at least equally to a variable rate application, and also be less risky. |
 | | However, sampling error still occurred (Gaines County in 1996, for example), and the cost of the nematicide is relatively low ($3.20/lb) compared with the cost of under applying Temik®. |
 | | The recommendation is to sample fields for root-knot nematode, and then apply a nematicidal rate (5-7 lbs of Temik®/a) in the areas of the field with root-knot nematode. |
