Abstract
In a field experiment, the effects of D-D, DD-MENCS (Vorlex), Ethoprop 6% E.C. and Ethoprop 10% G for the control of plant parasitic nematodes and on yield of tobacco were studied. Nematodes were counted in soil samples taken 54, 114 and 171 days after transplanting. All nematicide treatments significantly reduced Meloidogyne incognita after 54 days but, only D-D and Vorlex were significantly different from the control. Increased yields were harvested from plots treated with nematicides.
