Movement and Toxicity of Nematicides in the Plant Root Zone

J. W. Noling

Many of the nematicides currently used in Florida are restricted-use fumigant, organophosphate, or carbamate pesticides. Considerable work has been done to study the behavior of these pesticides in soil and to predict their movement and efficacy. The results from this research show that an understanding of the movement and distribution of a nematicide in soil is probably as important to control as is its toxicity to the nematode. If toxic concentrations of the nematicide do not come in contact with the nematode for sufficient time, acceptable levels of control will not occur.

Non-Fumigant Nematicides Registered for Vegetable Crop Use

T. T. Watson and J. A. Desaeger

Non-fumigant nematicides are formulated as liquids or granules that are moved through the soil by water. This 4-page fact sheet written by T. T. Watson and J. A. Desaeger and published by the UF/IFAS Entomology and Nematology Department is a major revision. It was first published in 1999 and most recently revised in April 2019. The fact sheet lists and describes chemical and biological non-fumigant nematicides and provides some information about how these products work against nematode pests.
