Efficacy of Abamectin for the control of root knot nematodes in tobacco seedling production in Zimbabwe
The efficacy of different rates of abamectin for the control of root knot nematodes in tobacco soil-based seed beds was evaluated in this study. Different incorporation methods of abamectin in the soil were also evaluated. A combination of 45 ml worked into the soil to a depth of 20 cm using hoes wa...

| Summary: | The efficacy of different rates of abamectin for the control of root knot nematodes in tobacco soil-based seed beds was evaluated in this study. Different incorporation methods of abamectin in the soil were also evaluated. A combination of 45 ml worked into the soil to a depth of 20 cm using hoes was effective in controlling root knot nematodes. The efficacy was comparable (p = 0.05) to methyl bromide and 1.3 D. The other treatments evaluated did not give control and were comparable to the untreated
control. Based on the results, abamectin can be a suitable replacement for methyl bromide for root knot nematode management in the tobacco seedbed. |
