- Intervention effect Methyl bromide generally outperformed calcium phosphide and avermectin for inhibition of M. incognita infestation.
- Intervention effect Calcium phosphide and avermectin were generally superior to untreated control for tomato growth.
- Intervention effect Calcium phosphide and avermectin were generally superior to untreated control for nematode infestation control.
- Intervention effect Calcium phosphide and avermectin were generally superior to untreated control for tomato yield.
- Intervention effect Calcium phosphide at 112.5 kg ha −1 matched methyl bromide for tomato height in both field trials.
- Intervention effect Calcium phosphide at 112.5 kg ha −1 matched methyl bromide for tomato yield in both field trials.

- Recommendation The authors conclude calcium phosphide is a promising methyl bromide alternative for managing M. incognita in tomato crops and integrated pest management.
