Abstract
SUMMARYFosthiazate (Nemathorin 10G Ishihara Sangyo Kaisha Ltd, Japan) is a new nematicide approved for use on potatoes Solanum tuberosum L. in die UK for die control of die potato cyst nematodes Globodera rostochiensis (Woll). Skarbilovich and G. pallida (Stone). Fosdiiazate delayed and suppressed hatch of die potato cyst nematode Globodera pallida in bom in vitro laboratory tests and a glasshouse pot experiment. In vitro hatch was temporarily inhibited by fosdiiazate concentrations above 0.09 μg ml‐1 and increasing me fosdiiazate concentration further prolonged the duration of hatch inhibition. Analysis of fosthiazate soil concentrations, using high‐pressure liquid chromatography, during me glasshouse experiment showed mat hatch was suppressed in the soil at concentrations above 0.5 mg kg‐1. Other factors such as the paralysis of hatched nematodes in the soil solution are also involved.
