Charcoal Rot Severity and Soybean Yield Responses to Planting Date, Irrigation, and Genotypes.

Soybean ( [L.] Merr.) production is influenced by planting date, but its impact on yield in fields infested with (Tassi) Goid.

Effects of Grass-Based Crop Rotation, Nematicide, and Irrigation on the Nematode Community in Cotton.

Plant-parasitic and free-living nematodes - bacterivores, fungivores, omnivores, predators - comprise the nematode community. Nematicide application and crop rotation are important tools to manage plant-parasitic nematodes, but effects on free-living nematodes and nematode ecological indices need further study. The nematicide fluopyram was recently introduced in cotton () production and its effects on the nematode community need assessment.

Feeding Selectivity of and on Fungi Associated with Florida Strawberry.

and are foliar nematodes associated with commercial strawberry production in Florida, United States. The reproductive and feeding habits of these two nematode species were assessed on Florida isolates of the fungi , , , and , which are pathogenic to strawberry, and nonpathogenic isolates of and grown on potato dextrose agar in Petri dishes. Each culture was inoculated with six specimens of mixed life stages of or and incubated at 24°C under axenic and nonaxenic conditions 23 and 31 days after inoculation, respectively.

Nematicide influence on cotton yield and plant-parasitic nematodes in conventional and sod-based crop rotation.

Plant-parasitic nematodes ( (reniform, RN), (spiral), and (ring)) and yield were investigated in cotton phases of conventional (peanut-cotton-cotton) and sod-based (bahiagrass-bahiagrass-peanut-cotton) rotations with or without irrigation and fluopyram nematicide at a long-term research site, established in 2000, in Quincy, Florida, USA. Objectives were to determine impacts of nematicide application on cotton yield and evaluate effects of nematicide on plant-parasitic nematodes in these rotations in 2017 and 2018. Reniform nematode population densities were greater in conventional cotton than sod-based cotton.
