ABSTRACT

Telone was evaluated at six locations in Lousiana during 2003 in fields infested with the root-knot nematode. Fields were treated with and without Telone. Populations were fairly low at all locations at the time of planting with the exception of the Holley-Shop Cut site (4700 per 500 cm³ of soil for the untreated and 360 for the Telone). Populations were much higher at the mid-season sampling but tended to be much lower in the Telone plots. Yields were exceptionally good at all locations but averaged 1115 for the untreated and 1240 for the Telone (P= 0.04). Telone could serve as another management tool in fields which have severe problems with the root-knot nematode.
