Nematode Resistance in Cotton

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Biotechnology in Agriculture and Forestry ((AGRICULTURE,volume 42))

Abstract

Nematode parasitism of cotton, has become increasingly important due to yield losses and increased distribution across cotton production regions. Yield losses attributed to nematodes in 1991 in the 14 cotton-producing states in the USA were estimated to be approximately 2.4%, or in excess of 476151 bales (Smith 1992). In 1992, plant-parasitic nematodes accounted for an estimated yield loss of 528000 bales valued at US$184951200 (Goodell 1993). The Cotton Disease Council reported yield losses in 1995 in Mississippi at about 4% or 82929 bales, and beltwide in the USA about 3.5%, or about 778703 bales. Decreases in fiber length and other adverse affects on fiber quality due to nematode infection were reported by Smith et al. (1991).
