Content: Limited soil sampling is performed to confirm population density predictions. Nematicide application guided by georeferenced soil electrical conductivity maps provides a promising techology for site-specific, variable-rate treatment of plant parasitic nematode-infested fields. A consortium of researchers in the southeast US that developed this technology found reduction in nematicide use by 30–50% in large-scale tests whereas yields remained unchanged or increased (Mueller et al., 2010 ). Planting site-specific application of soil nematicides is another development that attempts to reduce application rates, cost, and nontarget effects while retaining effective protection against plant parasitic nematodes. This idea goes back to a time when tree and vine planting sites were treated with fumigant injections from a hand-held device. But advances in global positioning technology make this formerly hazardous and time-consuming method safe, effective, and economi
