Nematicidal activity of allyl bromide and dibromo(nitro)methane under laboratory conditions

摘要

BACKGROUNDRestrictions on soil fumigants are prompting the development of new compounds for controlling nematodes, other soilborne pathogens and weeds. We evaluated the nematicidal activity of five bromine compounds against Meloidogyne javanica in vitro, and tested the two most effective ones against Pratylenchus penetrans and Xiphinema index in vitro and in soil.
