Interaction of fensulfothion and phorate with preemergence herbicides on soybean parasitic nematodes.
The herbicides alachlor, linuron, vernolate, and metribuzin were applied to plots treated with the nematicide fensulfothion or the insecticide phorate and planted to soybean in two locations in North Carolina. In 1976 treatment with fensulfothion + alachlor or vernolate, phorate + alachlor or metribuzin resulted in greater nematode population densities than no treatment, or treatment with fensulfothion alone, or phorate alone. In 1977 fensulfothion and phorate alone and in combination with the preemergence herbicides effectively controlled Tylenchorhynchus cIaytoni. Late season population resurgence of Heterodera glycines occurred in fensulfothion + alachlor treated plots. Correlation coefficients for H. glycines vs. yield were -0.48 (P = 0.05) and -0.46 (P = 0.05) for 30 and 68 d after planting, respectively.
