Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Fluopyram reduced root galling on susceptible soybean in the greenhouse compared with other nematicides and the untreated control.
- Intervention effect Fluopyram reduced nematode reproduction on susceptible soybean in the greenhouse.
- Intervention effect Seed nematicides did not consistently protect grain yield in either cultivar class in field experiments.
- Intervention effect Nematicides provided an average of 0.3% yield protection for susceptible cultivars.
- Intervention effect Nematicides had no measurable effect on partially resistant cultivars.
- Observation Partially resistant cultivars averaged 50% greater grain yield than the susceptible cultivar.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that host resistance is the most effective and reliable management strategy for soybean under high nematode density.
