Title
Nematicide application as a tool to study the impact of nematodes on plant productivity.
Gaétano Germani; H. O. Mongi; P. A. Huxley 1979
Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Nematicide treatment produced a positive yield response in soybeans infected by two nematodes.
- Intervention effect Nematicide treatment produced a positive yield response in groundnuts infected by two nematodes.
- Intervention effect Nematicide treatment produced a positive yield response in groundnuts affected by a viral disease transmitted by a susceptible fungus.
- Intervention effect DBCP treatment had no effect on the chlorosis or yields of groundnuts.
- Mechanism The groundnut chlorosis was subsequently attributed to potassium, sodium and chloride toxicities from ash accumulations.
