Tridge summary
Nematodes represent one of the main threats to cotton cultivation, potentially causing significant losses. In a LinkedIn publication, Daiane Klabunde, a sales technical assistant at Unicampo, highlighted an example of a highly infested area by Rotylenchulus reniformis, where losses reached almost 100 arrobas per hectare. The situation involved a material with high productive potential, but susceptible to the pest, positioned inadequately in a region with high infestation pressure.

In the same environment, the FM 945 STP cultivar was used, which has moderate resistance to the nematode. The results were significantly better, demonstrating how the strategic use of genetically adapted materials can minimize the damage caused by these pests. The correct choice of cultivar, combined with monitoring of the areas, is essential to preserve the productivity of the crop. BASF has been investing in integrated solutions to assist the producer in managing nematodes. These solutions involve the availability of seeds with traits that offer genetic resistance, as well as seed treatment with products that guarantee protection from the beginning of the cycle. The combination of biotechnology, genetic quality, and chemical control has proven effective in ensuring the health of the ...
