Abstract

Root-knot nematodes possess a wide group of hosts and cause significant yield losses in many economically important plant species. Restrictions on the use of nematicides in Turkey have increased; hence it is needed to discover new control methods for managing Root-knot nematodes. Therefore, establishing alternative control programme to combat root-knot nematodes in pepper greenhouse in Turkey remarkably is significant. In this study, soil solarization with two diverse chemicals and soil fumigants combined with two and four drip irrigation pipe in both side of systems for using availability against nematode was investigated. Solarization + metham sodium + iprodione application with four lateral drip irrigation pipes in both side of system were found to be effective on yield and nematode galls on the roots. Solarization + iprodione with four drip irrigation pipe in both sides of systems were found to have the highest impact on plant height and nematode reproduction rate.
