6.5.3 Nematicides (including soil sterilants)
Nematicides, such as fosthiazate, have been developed for the control of nematode pests of crops. Fosthiazate is a soil-applied contact acting nematicide that controls potato cyst nematodes. Certain chemicals in this group are classified as soil sterilants, e.g. Dazomet. It is important to remember that a time interval must be observed between the last application of the pesticide and the harvesting of edible crops as well as the access of animals and poultry to treated areas. With some pesticides this interval is longer than others. This is another reason for very careful reading of the manufacturer’s instructions. For up-to-date information on pesticides available, and the regulations and advice on the use of these chemicals, reference should be made to the UK Pesticide Guide, published annually by CABI/BCPC. Table 6.1 includes information on the major pests attacking farm crops and their control.
