USE OF DAZOMET AND OXAMYL FOR CONTROLLING THE ROOT-KNOT NEMATODE MELOIDOGYNE JAVANICA IN GLASS HOUSES

Abstract

Meloidogyne javanica was successfully controlled on tomato under glasshouse conditions using either dazomet with oxamyl, or oxamyl alone. Significant yield increases ranging from 23.5% to 47.1% were achieved aver the controls while the ratio of the incremental crop value aver the nematicidal cost was significantly in favour of oxamyl being applied alone via drip irrigation.
