Field Validation of the Effect of Soil Fumigation of Ethanedinitrile (EDN) on the Mortality of Meloidogyne hapla and Carrot Yield Parameters

With the increasing importance of soilborne plant pest nematodes and relatively recent phase-out methyl bromide as a key soil fumigant, there is an urgent need for new fumigants with good nematicidal properties. Ethanedinitrile (EDN) promising fumigant preparation because its physical, agrochemical, However, efficacy against nematode pests different crops under field conditions has not been fully validated understood. Therefore, aim our study was to evaluate effect two concentrations EDN on survival northern root-knot (Meloidogynehapla) carrot yield quality conditions. The evaluation performed using naturally infested plots, application followed by covering treated area film. A high biological observed both tested, even lower dose (30 g·m−2) being sufficient M. hapla suppression. Positive effects application—likely due partial conversion into biologically available nitrogen in soil—on root weight, comparison untreated control, were also observed.
