Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Azadirachtin reduced tomato root galling and nematode reproduction factor in the greenhouse.
- Intervention effect Thyme oil reduced tomato root galling and nematode reproduction factor in the greenhouse.
- Observation The cucumber-field nematode life cycle lasted 23 days and accumulated 380 degree-days in spring.
- Observation The cucumber-field nematode life cycle lasted 24 days and accumulated 398 degree-days in fall.
- Intervention effect Only calendar-applied azadirachtin significantly reduced cucumber-field nematode density.
- Intervention effect Life-cycle applications were effective for all treatments other than Quillaja saponaria saponins.
- Intervention effect Oxamyl worked better with life-cycle timing than calendar timing.
- Intervention effect At mid-season calendar-applied azadirachtin reduced galling index more than life-cycle application.
- Intervention effect At mid-season calendar-applied neem oil reduced galling index more than life-cycle application.
- Intervention effect At season end only calendar-applied azadirachtin differed significantly from control.
- Intervention effect At season end other treatments except Quillaja saponaria saponins had lower galling indices than calendar applications.
