Summary Cotton was grown in soils of differing phosphorus levels with and without a mycorrhizal fungus and with a range (0 to 3200 eggs/ 100 c ‐3 soil) of Meloidogyne incognita eggs added. Tolerance of cotton to M. incognita did not differ between plants grown in different soils with or without the mycorrhizal fungus, though plant size could differ markedly. Plant tolerance was increased by a delay in adding nematodes.
