Effect of oil cakes on the movementof nematicides in soil

Abstract

The application of fumigants in combinations with organic soil amendments have been suggested as a means of achieving integrated control of nematodes (Good, 1972). However, little is known about the influence of organic amendments on the mobility of nematicides in soil. The present study attempts to assess the effect of extracts of various oil cakes on the mobility in treated soil of three nematicides, dazomet, oxamyl and dichlorofenthion.
