Plant Health Management: Crop Protection with Nematicides

New Approaches
Regulatory restrictions on nematicides are often viewed negatively by growers and commodities as they initially limit the available tools and strategies to combat a serious foe. But in the long run, similar challenges to other pesticides have been met with the development of superior compounds and innovative technologies. The search for alternatives to soil fumigants and nematicides has already resulted in some remarkable developments, such as emulsified 1,3-D formulations for chemigation, combination of products with increased efficacy (1,3-D/choropicrin combinations) and improved tarpaulin covers that reduce treatment rate or increase efficacy while mitgating emissions (Yates et al., 2011 ). Other innovations in preliminary stages of development will be briefly noted in the following paragraphs. Seed treatments with contact nematicides developed in the 1970s have never been widely adopted. Low loading rates to avoid phytotoxicity and short persistence of the seed-delivered nematicide did not compete well in efficacy with the permitted high rates of soil-applied nematicides.
