Abstract
- Six general-purpose fumigants and one fungicide were applied by different methods and evaluated for control of nematode-fungus complexes on cabbage grown for transplant production. All chemicals reduced populations of nematodes and soil-borne fungi but varied greatly in effectiveness. Methyl bromide + chloropicrin (98% methyl bromide + 2% chloropicrin) (MBR-CP gas), DD + methyl isothiocyanate (DD-MENCS), methyl bromide + chloropicrin (67% methyl bromide + 31.75% cbloropicrin) (MBR-CP gel), and chloropicrin were more effective than sodium methyl dithiocarbamate (metham), pentachloronitrobenzene (PCNB), and potassium N-hydroxy-methyl-N-methyldithiocarbamate (Bunema) against Meloidogyne incognita. Populations of Pythium spp. and Fusarium spp. were reduced markedly by all treatments except PCNB. Plant growth, uniformity, and yield were greater when nematodes and fungi were controlled.
