Conventional
The conventional trial was conducted at the EV Smith Research Center – Plant Breeding Unit in Tallassee. This location is known for exceptional root-knot nematode pressure. As a result, root samples were dug post-harvest to see if there was any RKN damage. Gall ratings and images from one replication of each variety are provided in addition to the normal results.
