NATURAL PRODUCTS FOR NEMATODE MANAGEMENT IN TOMATOES

In field trials conducted on tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum ‘UC82’), the natural products ReZist, ST007, Root Power, Agro-K, and DiTera were compared to an untreated control and a chemical standard (1,3-Dichloropropene) (1,3-D) for management of root-knot nematode (rkn) (Meloidogyne javanica). Each of two trials consisted of five replicates of ten treatments in a randomized complete block design.
At harvest in the first trial, compared to untreated, Agro-K had a greater plant weight; and Root Power, 1,3-D, Agro-K, and ST007 had lower levels of rkn.
At harvest in the second trial, compared to untreated, ReZist had a greater total yield and lower yield of green fruit; and ST007 and 1,3-D had a lower root gall rating.
