Abstract

Yields of U.S. Size A potato tubers were increased by 1,3-dichloropropene (1,3-D) (56 liters/ha) and 1,3-D (56 liters/ha) + aldicarb (3.4 kg/ha) in 1982 and 1983 and by aldicarb (3.4 kg/ha) in 1982. Treatments that included aldicarb provided the best control of corky ringspot disease, whereas those including 1,3-D were more effective against bacterial wilt. The most effective nematode control (nematodes included Meloidogyne incognita, Belonolaimus longicaudatus, trichodorids, Criconemella ornata, Tylenchorhynchus claytoni, and Helicotylenchus sp.) was provided by the combination of 1,3-D + aldicarb. Key words: aldicarb, bacterial wilt, Belonolaimus longicaudatus, corky ringspot, Criconemella ornata, Helicotylenchus spp., Meloidogyne incognita, nematicide, Paratrichodorus minor, Pratylenchus spp., Pseudomonas solanacearum, soil fumigation, Solanum tuberosum, tobacco rattle virus, Trichodorus viruliferous, Trichodorus proximus, trichodorids, Tylenchorhynchus claytoni, 1,3-dichloropropene (1,3-D).
