Nematology Chemical Control Projects, 1997
- Alternatives to Methyl Bromide in vegetable crop production. Present research involves
testing standard and experimental nematicides for control of root-knot nematode on tomato,
tobacco and sting nematode on strawberry.
- Control of sting, stubby-root and root-knot nematodes on cotton using combinations of
nematicides and crop rotations.
- Use of different applications techniques of Telone II to increase efficacy in control of root-knot nematodes on peanut.
- Studies on comparing efficacy of Telone II in soils with enhanced degradation properties.
- Use of nematode attractants and repellents to control root-knot nematode on tomato and
egg-plant.
