Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation No endemic entomopathogenic nematodes were detected in New York muck fields.
- Intervention effect Spinosad caused nematode mortality.
- Intervention effect Cyromazine caused some nematode mortality.
- Intervention effect These insecticides did not affect nematode infectivity.
- Intervention effect Nematodes reduced onion plant mortality from D. antiqua by 6% to 30%.
- Intervention effect Nematodes reduced D. antiqua damage over two field seasons.
- Intervention effect Nematodes increased end of season yield over two field seasons.
- Recommendation The authors conclude nematodes alongside other management tactics can boost yield and provide acceptable control.
