RESUMO
In 1982 and 1983 the soil fumigants ethylene dibromide (EDB), EDB + chloropicrin, and 1,3-dichloropropene (1,3-D) applied with one or three chisels per row were evaluated singly and in combination with aldicarb on potato, Solanum tuberosum cvs. Atlantic and Sebago, for control of trichodorid nematodes and potato corky ringspot disease (CRS). In 1982 dosages per chisel for EDB, EDB + chloropicrin, and 1,3-D were 16.8, 23.9, and 56.1 liters/ha, respectively. EDB was applied at 12.6 liters per chisel per ha in 1983. Aldicarb was applied at 3.4 kg a.i./ha in-the-row. Differences (P = 0.05) in the percentages of tubers having CRS and in mean trichodorid population densities were recorded between methods of fumigant application and among fumigants. The reductions in CRS associated with triple-chisel applications compared with single-chisel applications of the fumigants were insufficient to justify their commercial use solely for CRS control. Addition of aldicarb to all fumigation treatments, regardless of the fumigant application method, resulted in highly effective control of CRS. The disease was less severe in Atlantic; however, CRS was sufficiently severe to justify use of aldicarb on either cultivar.
RESUMO
Preplant soil applications of oxamyl to shade grown tobacco in Globodera tabacum-infested field soil increased green leaf yields over untreated plots by 10.7 and 21.0% for 2.2 and 6.7 kg a.i. oxamyl/ha, respectively. Green leaf yield was negatively correlated (r = -0.60, P = 0.04) with initial G. tabacum density, which ranged from 33 to 154 second-stage juveniles (J2)/cm(3) soil. Numbers of G. tabacum J2 and developing juveniles and adults (J3-adults) per gram root were fewer in plants from oxamyl-treated plots than in plants from untreated plots. Numbers of J2 in roots 4, 6, and 8 weeks after transplanting were reduced by 80, 89, and 4%, respectively, and numbers of J3-adults were reduced by 96, 89, and 21%, respectively, in high-rate oxamyl plots, compared with untreated plots. Globodera tabacum reproduction, as measured by the ratio of final to initial soil densities, was less in oxamyl-treated plots than in untreated plots.
RESUMO
Efficacy of the fumigants ethylene dibromide (EDB), EDB + chloropicrin, and 1,3-dichloropropene (1,3-D) applied with one or three chisels per row, singly or in combination with aldicarb, was evaluated in 1982 and 1983 on potato (Solanum tuberosum) cultivars Atlantic and Sebago for control of several nematodes, including Belonolaimus longicaudatus, Meloidogyne incognita, and trichodorids. Generally, nematode populations were lowest following application of fumigants with three chisels per row, following EDB or EDB + chloropicrin, and when fumigants were applied in combination with aldicarb. These treatment combinations also resulted in highest yields in 1983. Cosmetic appearance of tubers was improved (P = 0.05) by aldicarb in 1982. Both bacterial wilt and nematodes reduced yield; however, stepwise multiple regression analysis estimated that the greater loss in yield was associated with bacterial wilt, especially in Atlantic during 1983. Economic analysis showed that addition of aldicarb to all 1,3-D treatments increased profits. The increase was greater in Atlantic than in Sebago. Triple-chisel fumigation produced greater profits than single-chisel fumigation in Atlantic during both years and in Sebago in 1982.
RESUMO
Yields of U.S. Size A potato tubers were increased by 1,3-dichloropropene (1,3-D) (56 liters/ha) and 1,3-D (56 liters/ha) + aldicarb (3.4 kg/ha) in 1982 and 1983 and by aldicarb (3.4 kg/ha) in 1982. Treatments that included aldicarb provided the best control of corky ringspot disease, whereas those including 1,3-D were more effective against bacterial wilt. The most effective nematode control (nematodes included Meloidogyne incognita, Belonolaimus longicaudatus, trichodorids, Criconemella ornata, Tylenchorhynchus claytoni, and Helicotylenchus sp.) was provided by the combination of 1,3-D + aldicarb.
