title: Effects of Incorporation Method of Ethoprop and Addition of Aldicarb on Potato Tuber Infection by Meloidogyne hapla.
abstract: The efficacy of controlling Meloidogyne hapla on potato with water incorporation of ethoprop was compared to physical incorporation before planting. The standard practice of aldicarb application for insect control was also evaluated for M. hapla suppression with and without ethoprop. Physical incorporation before planting by rototilling or discing reduced (P </= 0.05) tuber infection. Postplant water incorporation of ethoprop was not as effective as physical incorporation of ethoprop or postplant water incorporation of aldicarb and did not reduce (P </= 0.05) tuber infection at harvest. Ethoprop did not affect yield, whereas aldicarb increased yield in one experiment.
