Farming Video | Matt Miles Tackles Root-Knot Nematodes With Smart Rotation Trials

10 Oct 25

Matt Miles shares what he's learned after another year of working with Averland from Vive to take on root-knot nematodes. He’s already seen solid success using it in cotton, but this year, they tested it in corn to see if they could not only protect yield but also reduce nematode populations ahead of soybean or cotton rotations. While yield bumps were mixed—some areas showing 3 to 4 bushels more, others staying even—there were no yield losses. The real value? Fewer nematodes heading into next year’s crop. Matt says this product 100% works on root-knot nematodes and could be a game-changer for managing pressure across multiple crops.

00:00 So guys, we got our year results back from the VI trial. We've been, we've been working 00:00:04 with Vive on a product called Everland now for the last couple of years, reducing root, not nematodes. So we've got certain crops that are susceptible 00:00:13 to nematodes, soybeans are susceptible, cotton susceptible. We've been working with it in, in our cotton 00:00:19 and we're hoping they get a label for soybeans. Uh, but what, what they come to me with this year is, Hey, let's try it in the corn 00:00:28 and see if we can reduce the numbers as a total. So we put in our corn this year just to see if we could pick up any yield during that process. 00:00:36 It's kind of mixed results. You can go to some places where we got a three to four bushel increase, some places where it was even, 00:00:42 but there was not a decrease in yield from our check to our plot. So we really feel like we've lowered the numbers 00:00:49 and nematodes in that corn. So if you can take a commodity like corn and you can reduce the numbers there, then what 00:00:57 that does in the following year when you come back with cotton or soybeans, then the numbers of nematodes will be less so that 00:01:03 therefore that should make the product even work better and shine more. We've seen some really good results in our cotton. 00:01:10 This product a hundred percent works on root knot nematodes, and this gives us an opportunity to reduce the numbers in, 00:01:17 in our rotation, trying to get to that final number. We need to make the yield better in our other crops 00:01:23.135 --> 00:01:23.935
