Nematicides Registered and Commonly Used in Florida1
W. T. Crow, J. W. Noling and R. A. Dunn2Table 1 lists all pesticides registered for nematode ( Figure 1 ) "control" in Florida for which we have reasonable data to support their efficacy. Many are registered only in Florida, or would be less effective in other locations; consult local recommendations and regulations before using them elsewhere. Before using any pesticide, you must have the labeling which applies to your use; since registration by "State Label" (Special Local Need registration, section 24-c of FIFRA) often does not appear on the package label, the user is responsible to have a copy of the separate label with him while using the product under such registration.
