Nematodes are major pests on many agronomic crops.
Sustainable systems are needed to manage nemaotdes in crop production. The objective of this experiment was to determine the value of cotton-peanut rotations, rye, and soil chemical treatments on management of nematodes, thrips, and soilborne diseases and crop yield. A cotton-peanut rotation is attractive at this time, because of the high value and extensive planting of both crops in the southeastern coastal plain. A contact, ingested, and fumigant organochlorine insecticide, used on many crops including sugar beet and oil seed rape. Also used as a timber treatment, and in the home, for head lice.
