- Intervention effect Metam sodium suppressed parasitic nematode populations.
- Intervention effect At two and three years, high-rate metam sodium trees had greater TCSA than low-rate trees.
- Intervention effect At two and three years, both metam sodium rates increased TCSA over controls.
- Observation Yield efficiency was similar between the two metam sodium rates.
- Intervention effect Both metam sodium rates improved yield efficiency over controls two and three years after planting.
