AGRI-Terra PERFORMANCE GUIDE
Effects of Agri-Terra Treatment to Cotton Seedlings Inoculated with Root-Knot Nematode, Meloidogyne spp.

Rows of ‘Sierra Acala’ Cotton infested with root-knot nematode (RKN), Meloidogyne spp., were used in a small plot trial of 4 rows by 55 feet (16.76 meters). The growing cotton was treated with Agri-Terra at 0.5 and 1.0% concentrations at a 15 gallons/acre rate (140L/hectare), and a third treatment at 1.0% Agri-Terra at 30 gallons/acre (280L/hectare). These were compared to Temik treated plants. Treatments were assigned based on nematode population density, as measured by soil core samples (see Agri-Terra Guide [pdf]).

The evaluations compared the number of young healthy cotton plants per plot. The results showed all treatments of Agri-Terra had significantly greater numbers of healthy plants relative to the untreated control or Temik treated plots. Agri-Terra was also shown to be more effective at the 30 gallon rate than the 15 gallon rate. Results thus far have shown greater plant survivorship for Agri-Terra treatments under nematode infested field conditions than conventional Temik treatments.

Ongoing analysis includes comparisons of nematode soil densities, root galling, plant weight and harvested yield.
