The objective of this project is to evaluate new products for management of root-knot nematode on carrots. Root-knot nematodes (Jvfeloidogyne sp.) are widely distributed throughout California and are the most important nematode pest of carrot. CwTent control methodology relies on the use of Metam sodium and Telone II.
The potential for loss of the standard chemical nematicides due to various environmental concerns is great enough to warrant…
This project has the following two objectives:
I. Evaluate new products for management of root-knot nematode on carrots.
2. Evaluate the effectiveness of trap crops for management of root-knot nematode on carrots. Root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne sp.) are widely distributed throughout California and…
Cotton root-knot nematode is the most important nematode pest to cotton with losses averaging 33,360 bales/year during the period 1989 through 1998. This pest is a problem primarily in sandy and sandy-loam soils, but can be found in loamy soils.
The emphasis on reducing costs and improving profitability is a driving factor for research focused on finding alternative management approaches to fumigants and other nematicides. In addition, interest by society and regulators in seeking reduced risk approaches to pest management is driving the search for alternative nematode…
