When there is a possibility of contamination from outside sources, the machinery and containers should be disinfested. Methyl bromide can be used. Soil in the field can be disinfested by various nematicides. These are injected 6-8 inches deep in the soil. These machines must be calibrated carefully so that an exact dosage is applied uniformly.
Dosage is usually double that used for other nematodes.
No crops should be planted for at least 2 weeks after treatment. C.I.H. Descriptions of Plant-parasitic Nematodes. Set 1, No. 1. St. Albans, Eng. Mai, W.F. and G.S. Abawi.
